Next time

Departure

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

What happened: Climb speed was 82 kt fast at 252 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Close the throttles further on final so you cross the threshold at 142 kt, removing the excess energy before the flare.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 155 kt, 13 kt above the 142 kt target, and the flare was not begun until 0.9 ft, well inside the normal flare band. Carrying excess speed that late into the approach usually leaves the flare started late and the touchdown arriving firm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 142 kt at the threshold

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.

A slow rotation

The nose came up at 138 kt against the 143 kt rotate speed, and rose at 1.9° a second, slower than the 2.0 to 3.0 other Airbus A320neo pilots fly.

The rotation started on speed but the nose came up slowly. Make it one positive, continuous pull at the normal rate for this aircraft, rather than easing the nose up in steps.

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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 766 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 1,498 m of runway left; gear up at 147 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 970 fpm on average to 766 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 2.0 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

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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 2.6 to 0.6 nm, then not again: high from 0.6 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.

Low from 4 nm to 2.6 nm (up to 730 ft under), then back on it to 0.6 nm, then high to the threshold (up to 90 ft over).

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. 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 from 4 nm to 0.6 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +17 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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 87 ft, 37 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 1 ft. Touched down 714 m in, 410 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 1,524 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 stayed between 610 fpm and 630 fpm from the flare to the runway. The pitch barely changed. Into the flare at 148 kt, 6 kt over the 142 kt approach speed, and 148 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.

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 departed from runway 25 at LIRF Rome-Fiumicino, using a take-off distance of 1,231 m (39 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 138 kt. Local weather was 17 °C with a 1 kt wind from 270°, no cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 45 seconds, averaging 944 fpm and reaching 248 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 804 ft asl to 25,620 ft asl in 9 minutes, covering 48 nm while proceeding from a point 2 nm north-west of Fiumicino.

Cruise was maintained at 26,000 ft asl for 68 minutes, covering 487 nm, beginning 4 nm north-west of Vetralla. Descent began from 26,002 ft asl to 15,231 ft asl in 6 minutes over 43 nm, starting 2 nm north of Bourguignons, with brief level-offs at 16,100 ft asl and 15,800 ft asl.

The aircraft levelled at 15,000 ft asl for 8 minutes, covering 54 nm, starting 3 nm east of Villiers-Saint-Georges. A further descent from 15,002 ft asl to 951 ft asl took 11 minutes over 48 nm, beginning overhead La Garenne-Colombes, with a brief level-off at 900 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle began with a descent from 599 ft agl to 129 ft agl in 86 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway all stabilisation checks were met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on glideslope, on centreline, on speed, wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 5,282 ft agl, 327 kt; final flap position 3 at 2,993 ft agl, 211 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 09L (runway length 2,710 m). The threshold height at 88 ft agl was significantly above target and the threshold speed of 156 kt was slightly above target. The flare was poor, starting late. Touchdown was 304 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 148 kt, a little fast, with a heavy rate of -611 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was perfect and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,304 m (48 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was perfect.

Local weather at the destination was 15 °C with a 1 kt wind from 270°, no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind. The flight covered 688 nm in 106 minutes and used 2,134 kg of fuel.
