Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 111 kt.

What happened: Threshold speed was fast at 125 kt against 111 kt; crossing fast like this usually carries the flare into holding off high, and that usually lets the sink return before a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 111 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

Rotated at 112 kt, 13 kt below the 125 kt target, and lifted off at 138 kt 4.2 s later, the nose coming up at 1.4° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 173 kt target, at 173 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 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 985 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 394 m of runway left; gear up at 67 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,840 fpm on average to 985 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 1,672 m runway.

Rolled from 392 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 3.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.2 m left. Airborne 64 % 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 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.

At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed, glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3° and speed more than 28 kt above the approach speed of 111 kt.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 2.3 to 1.5 nm, then not again: low from 1.5 nm and fast from 0.6 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 final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 3.7 nm, then high to 3.0 nm (up to 510 ft over), then back on it to 1.5 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 180 ft under).

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 4× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 89 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 28 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 17 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 2.6 nm (up to +96 kt), then inside the band to 0.6 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +15 kt).

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 flare45.15

The flare strayed well off the target profile. Crossing the threshold 14 kt above target, the flare took the sink out 23 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft flew down from there. Touchdown was 271 m past the threshold. Let it come lower before checking the descent - holding off high uses runway and leaves the touchdown to chance.

The crosswind

5 kt across from the left, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 118 kt. Touched down with the nose 3° into wind, wings level.

Wind 219° at 8 kt · 5 kt head · 5 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 111 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 24 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 29 ft, 21 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 25 ft. Touched down 271 m in, close to 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 grew from 330 fpm at the flare to 360 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.6° 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.

Flight narrative

The Hawker H25B departed from runway 25 at EGWU RAF Northolt. The take-off roll used 1,070 m, 64 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 112 kt. Local weather was 13 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 260°, giving a head-wind component of 1 kt and no cross-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 18 seconds, averaging 2,991 fpm and reaching 180 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,192 ft asl to 17,510 ft asl in 4 minutes, covering 19 nm while remaining overhead EGWU. Level flight was held at 18,100 ft asl for 2 minutes, covering 10 nm over Whipsnade. Descent from 18,146 ft asl to 1,927 ft asl took 12 minutes and covered 54 nm, beginning over Woburn Sands with a brief level-off at 1,900 ft asl.

On final approach to runway 27 at EGNX East Midlands Airport, descent from 1,627 ft agl to 33 ft agl was completed in 113 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, centreline, and wings level; they were not met for sink rate, glideslope, and speed (each at one gate).

Landing was made on runway 27, whose length is 2,753 m. The threshold speed was 125 kt, well above target. The flare was poor, with little round-out, and touchdown occurred at 118 kt, a little fast. Touchdown distance was 271 m and the rate was firm at minus 363 fpm. Alignment on touchdown and during rollout was very good, with no bounce. Total landing distance was 789 m, 29 % of the runway.

Local weather at the airport was 11 °C with wind 8 kt from 220°, giving a cross-wind component of 6 kt and a head-wind component of 5 kt. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 91 nm in 24 minutes and used 311 kg of fuel.
