What went well

Rollout held the centreline in a 12 kn crosswind — 0.14 m off at taxi speed
Touchdown 499 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 25 ft and 143 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Firm touchdown — 348 fpm, −0.51 points across the landing and the touchdown
  • Arrival Touchdown · sink rate 348 fpm−0.48
  • Arrival Landing · flare: the descent was not taken out−0.02
  • Arrival Touchdown · 1.32 G at contact−0.01
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 92 %, −0.13 points
Arrival Touchdown — Runway alignment max 7.81 m right at 94 %, −0.06 points

Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 334 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 347 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

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.

Touchdown was 499 m past the threshold. It was on speed over the threshold, so this was more back pressure than the speed could take: raise the nose more slowly and stop as soon as the sink is checked. Once it has ballooned, hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 169 kt, 17 kt above the 152 kt target, and lifted off at 174 kt 2.1 s later, the nose coming up at 2.4° a second. Climb 3 averaged 179 kt, 11 kt over its 168 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 953 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,481 m of runway left; gear up at 59 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,500 fpm on average to 953 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 4,065 m runway.

Rolled from 140 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 2.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.3 m right. Airborne 54 % 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.

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 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then not again: right of the centreline from 0.2 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 EDDL 23L

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 60 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 15× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.2 nm, then 11 m right of it from 0.2 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 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −1 kt and +16 kt on the approach speed of 143 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 flare91.93

The flare held the target profile well. The flare took all the sink out 22 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft then dropped the rest of the way, 334 fpm of sink coming back. Touchdown was 499 m past the threshold. It was on speed over the threshold, so this was more back pressure than the speed could take: raise the nose more slowly and stop as soon as the sink is checked. Once it has ballooned, hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing.

The crosswind

12 kt across from the left, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 135 kt. Touched down with 5° of it still on, 2° of bank.

Wind 160° at 13 kt · 4 kt head · 12 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 131 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 32 s, an average deceleration of 0.16 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 1,696 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 32 ft, 67 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 25 ft, 25 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 499 m in, 194 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 1,696 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 500 fpm at the flare to 100 fpm at 22 ft, then back up to 350 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.4° 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 Airbus A321ceo taxied from the parking to the runway for 18 minutes, covering 4 nm, and departed from runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport. Take-off used 2,210 m (54 % of the runway); rotation occurred at 169 kt. The local weather was 10 °C with wind 3 kt from 120°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 20 seconds, averaging 2,188 fpm and reaching 177 kt at the top. The climb continued from 2,480 ft asl to 31,641 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 92 nm, beginning about 1 mile south-east of Munich. Level flight at 32,000 ft asl lasted 12 minutes, covering 77 nm, starting overhead Neustadt an der Aisch.

Descent from 32,013 ft asl to 4,461 ft asl took 20 minutes, covering 104 nm, beginning 2 miles north-east of Ortenberg. A level segment at 4,000 ft asl lasted 7 minutes, covering 28 nm, starting 1 mile north of Schwelm. The next descent from 3,714 ft asl to 1,493 ft asl lasted 9 minutes, covering 29 nm, starting 1 mile south-west of Dortmund, with a brief level-off at 3,000 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport descended from 1,401 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 102 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 landing gear down at 2,310 ft agl, 197 kt; final flap position 5 at 1,947 ft agl, 171 kt.

Landing on runway 23L (runway length 2,690 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 144 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 76 m beyond the touchdown zone at 135 kt, with a firm rate of -348 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline. Local weather was 12 °C with wind 13 kt from 160°, a 12 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,608 m (60 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was very good.

The aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway for 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The flight covered 342 nm in 84 minutes and used 3,559 kg of fuel.
