What went well

Landed straight in a 10 kn crosswind — 4.2 ft off the centreline, no bounce
Touchdown 814 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 28 ft and 142 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Firm touchdown — 296 fpm, −0.27 points across the landing and the touchdown
  • Arrival Touchdown · sink rate 296 fpm−0.14
  • Arrival Landing · flare: the descent was not taken out−0.10
  • Arrival Touchdown · 1.53 G at contact−0.04

Next time

Arrival

Begin the flare with firm, progressive back pressure, raising the nose further through the flare band and holding it until touchdown.

What happened: The nose was raised only 1.5° and little of the sink was taken out, so the aircraft was flown onto the runway; an under-flare like this usually carries through into a hard touchdown, as this one did at 1.5 g.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, progressive reduction in sink through the normal flare band.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The nose wandered in the climb

From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 11.1° and 17.3°, and the speed between 155 kt and 169 kt.

Once clear of the runway the nose moved through a wide range, and the speed moved with it. Set the climb attitude, hold it and trim, and give the speed a few seconds to settle before correcting it with a degree or two of pitch. Chasing the airspeed with large pitch changes makes it wander more.

Plan view the roll down the 7,339 ft runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, never more than 4 ft off the centreline. Airborne 63 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 907 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,850 ft of runway left; gear up at 284 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,110 fpm on average to 907 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 dark stretch of the roll is the run with the nose up and the wheels still on, with its length and time under the runway. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Speed and pitch from brake release to the end of the climb, against time.

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 grey band is the run between the nose coming up and the wheels leaving the runway. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The rotation detail below draws the rotation against the rates for this aircraft and its tail-strike pitch, where the slope reads properly. The grey dashed line across the pitch is the attitude held from 35 ft to the end: a nose held steady is a climb speed that holds, and the airspeed trace sits directly above it to compare. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Rotation detail the pitch over the seconds from rotation to 35 ft, where the slope reads properly.

How to read this

The pitch over the seconds from the nose starting to come up to 35 ft, stretched so the slope reads properly. The green dot is where the nose started up, the grey band runs to the wheels leaving, and the figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up. The two dashed green lines rising from the rotation point are 2.1 to 4.2° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Boeing 737-800 pilots over the last 180 days (158 takeoffs); the grey pair are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at. A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 11°, the pitch at which this aircraft's tail touches the runway with the wheels still on it, drawn from rotation to liftoff only: once the wheels leave, every foot climbed adds tail clearance.

Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.

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 KATL 27L

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 30 ft above 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, 1,000 ft 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.

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.

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 flare held the target profile well

The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 1.5° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 814 ft past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 28 ft, 22 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 18 ft. Touched down 814 ft in, 186 ft short of the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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 550 fpm at the flare to 300 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.4° on the way down. Into the flare at 143 kt, 9 kt over the 134 kt approach speed, and 141 kt at touchdown.

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.

Touched down on the centreline and drifted to 24 ft right on the rollout, back to 2 ft right by the end. 10 kt across from the right, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 141 kt. Touched down with 4° of it still on, wings level.

How to read this

The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way. 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. The sentence gives the nose against the direction you were actually moving as the wheels touched, and the steepest bank as they touched, the figure the touchdown's Bank tile marks. The rest of it is shown for reading, not marked.

From 137 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 24 s, an average deceleration of 0.23 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.

Final approach to runway 27L at KATL Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport began at 1,334 ft agl and descended to 39 ft agl in 103 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was gear down at 2,739 ft agl at 184 kt and final flap 8 at 2,474 ft agl at 168 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 27L, whose length is 8,987 ft. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 142 kt. The flare was described as great, with little round-out. Touchdown was at 813 ft down the runway, speed 141 kt (a little fast), and rate -296 fpm (fair). Alignment at touchdown was perfect and there was no bounce.

Total landing distance was 3,606 ft, 40 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at the airport was 53 °F with wind 11 kt from 332°, a 10 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered 353 nm in 85 minutes and used 7,245 lb of fuel.
