Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -233 fpm at 85 %, −0.20 points

Next time

Arrival

Adjust power to bring the approach speed onto 118 kt and hold it through the gates.

What happened: The approach speed deviated from the target through the stabilisation gates. This kind of deviation usually carries through to an unstable threshold crossing.

Watch for: Watch the airspeed indicator against 118 kt.

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 137 kt with 9.4° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 158 kt target, at 157 kt on average.

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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. 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 920 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,060 m of runway left; gear up at 39 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,450 fpm on average to 920 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 3,039 m runway.

Rolled from 53 m in, never more than 1 m off the centreline. Airborne 57 % 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

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

Sink rate1,120 fpm

At the 500 ft gate: glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3°, centreline more than 1° off, wings more than 10° from level and speed more than 18 kt above the approach speed of 118 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: fast all the way, no landing flap until 3.4 nm, gear up until 2.3 nm, banked until 1.3 nm, right of the centreline until 1.1 nm, high until 0.5 nm and sinking too fast until 0.2 nm.

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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 2,599 m left of the centreline, then drifted 94 m right between 1.6 and 1.1 nm, then inside the band from 1.1 nm to the threshold.

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 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to the threshold (up to +87 kt).

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 crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 169° at 4 kt · 3 kt head · 1 kt across

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 118 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 31 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 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.

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 680 fpm at the flare to 230 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.3° on the way down.

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.

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.

Flight narrative

A RJ85 departed from KJAX Jacksonville International Airport, rolling down runway 08 after a 5-minute taxi from the parking area, covering 1 nautical mile. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 137 knots, utilizing 57% of the 1,737-meter runway. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius, with a gentle headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its ascent 1 mile southwest of The Villages Regional Hospital Heliport, The Villages, Florida. The climb from 1,024 feet above sea level to 24,722 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,698 feet, was achieved in 22 minutes, covering 128 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a series of level cruises, with the first lasting 2 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles northwest of Laurel Bay, South Carolina. The RJ85 continued to climb and cruise, with a notable increase in altitude from 25,364 feet to 30,775 feet in 10 minutes, covering 76 nautical miles west of SC15 Airy Hall Airport, Green Pond, South Carolina.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 4 miles south of Lawrenceville, Virginia, reducing its altitude from 30,999 feet to 3,316 feet in 25 minutes, covering 149 nautical miles. The RJ85 then transitioned into a series of short level cruises, with the final descent initiated overhead Kensington, Maryland. The aircraft landed on runway 15 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, with a touchdown distance of 380 meters and a speed of 117 knots. The total landing distance was 979 meters, utilizing 62% of the 1,585-meter runway. The RJ85 then taxied to the parking area, concluding its 88-minute flight, which covered a total distance of 587 nautical miles and consumed 3,523 kilograms of fuel.
