What went well

Touched down at -165 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 45 ft and 130 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.33 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 727 m at 70 %, −0.33 points

Next time

Arrival

Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.

What happened: Touchdown point came 270 m past the target, landing at 727 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Rotated at 132 kt, on the 131 kt target, and lifted off at 141 kt 2.0 s later, the nose coming up at 5.7° a second. Climb 3 averaged 188 kt, 12 kt over its 176 kt target.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 892 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,028 m of runway left; gear up at 5 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,720 fpm on average to 892 ft.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 3,881 m runway.

Rolled from 787 m in, drifted 1.6 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 41 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

How to read this

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 3.3 nm, about 1,110 ft above the runway, to the threshold, before the 1,000 ft gate, so through both gates. The last to settle was the speed.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

The approach to YPDN 29

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 70 ft below the slope.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 14× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 27 m off the centreline.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 31 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 3.3 nm (up to +46 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

How to read this

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

The flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 727 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

The crosswind

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

The stop

From 119 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 25 s, an average deceleration of 0.19 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 45 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 24 ft. Touched down 727 m in, 423 m past the ideal 305 m.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 350 fpm at the flare to 160 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.7° on the way down.

How to read this

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737-700 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY). The taxi-out required 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 16R. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 1,607 m, representing 41 % of the runway, and liftoff occurred at 141 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind from 185° at 10 kt, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.

Climb began over Kyeemagh, New South Wales, with the airplane ascending from 990 ft asl to 39,994 ft asl, a gain of 39,004 ft achieved in 45 minutes while covering 341 nm.

Level cruise was established 24 miles north-east of Brewarrina, New South Wales, and was maintained for 179 minutes, during which 1,286 nm were flown.

Descent commenced 9 miles north-east of Pine Creek Airport (YPNC) in the Northern Territory, with the aircraft descending from 39,773 ft asl to 1,383 ft asl, a loss of 38,390 ft in 16 minutes over a distance of 99 nm.

The final approach to runway 29 at Darwin International Airport (YPDN) was flown from the east on a heading of 289.0° at 4 nm and 1,283 ft agl. During the approach the aircraft reduced altitude from 1,324 ft agl to 56 ft agl in 100 seconds and met the stabilisation-gate criteria.

Touchdown on runway 29 occurred with a threshold speed of 131 kt and a touchdown speed of 116 kt. The threshold height was reported as good. The aircraft contacted the runway 306 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a vertical speed of minus 211 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Runway length is 3,352 m; the landing distance recorded was 1,187 m, representing 35 % of the runway. Local temperature was 25 °C.

Rollout alignment was perfect and the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.

After landing, the airplane taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

In total the flight covered 1,736 nm, required 245 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 10,046 kg of fuel.
