Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 76 kt fast at 246 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

The nose wandered in the climb

From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 4.6° and 13.2°, and the speed between 179 kt and 258 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.

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 2.0 to 3.0° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A320neo pilots over the last 180 days (154 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 11.7°, 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.

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

Not every check held at once from 0.8 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Began the flare at 35 ft, 29 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 30 ft, 20 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 195 m in, 110 m short of 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.

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 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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking to the runway in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm, and departed from runway 25 at LICJ Falcone-Borsellino Airport. Takeoff used 1,348 m (43 % of the runway) and rotation occurred at 139 kt. Local weather was 17 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, giving a 0 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 35 seconds, averaging 1,208 fpm and reaching 249 kt at the top. The climb continued from 962 ft asl to 25,533 ft asl in 8 minutes, covering 45 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-west of Terrasini. Level cruise was at 26,000 ft asl for 122 minutes, covering 885 nm, starting 8 miles west of Ustica.

Descent began from 26,001 ft asl to 1,536 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 87 nm, starting overhead Lancheres with a brief level-off at 14,500 ft asl. The final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport descended from 1,431 ft agl to 125 ft agl in 88 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway met gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed and wings level; centreline was not met at one gate. Configuration at 248 ft agl was landing gear up, 159 kt, with final flap position 1.

A go-around was executed on runway 26L at EGKK at 21 ft agl.

A second final approach to runway 26L descended from 1,351 ft agl to 55 ft agl in 89 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft met gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration remained landing gear up at 248 ft agl, 159 kt, final flap position 1.

Landing on runway 26L (runway length 2,882 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 146 kt. The flare was described as a fair landing flare with little round-out. Touchdown occurred at 194 m down the runway, speed 143 kt (a little fast), and a heavy rate of -643 fpm. Touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from centreline. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, giving a 0 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 781 m (27 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was very good.

The aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 1,088 nm in 173 minutes and used 3,491 kg of fuel.
