Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.

What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 912 ft agl.

Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Carry more power on approach to hold 129 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 29 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 496 fpm.

Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 129 kt, keeping it there through the flare.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 138 kt, 7 kt below the 145 kt target, and lifted off at 149 kt 2.7 s later, the nose coming up at 2.5° a second. Climb 3 averaged 162 kt, 8 kt under its 170 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 968 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 937 m of runway left; gear up at 912 ft, 512 ft past the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,620 fpm on average to 968 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 2,308 m runway.

Rolled from 24 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 15 m at the widest, and lifted off 15 m left, in 9 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 48 % 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

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 0.9 nm, then not again: right of the centreline from 0.9 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 LSZH 14

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 280 ft above 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 6× larger than distances along the final.

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.

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 flare60.59

The flare strayed well off the target profile. The flare took all the sink out 29 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft settled on from there, 489 fpm of sink coming back, having crossed the threshold below target speed. Touchdown was 838 m past the threshold. Carry the speed to the flare and hold it lower - the aircraft ran out of lift before the wheels arrived, so the fix is energy on the approach, not attitude.

The crosswind

6 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 124 kt. Touched down with the nose 4° into wind, wings level.

Wind 049° at 6 kt · 0 kt head · 6 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 124 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 37 s, an average deceleration of 0.13 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 1,594 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 75 ft, 25 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 41 ft. Touched down 838 m in, 533 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 1,594 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 640 fpm at the flare to 10 fpm at 29 ft, then back up to 500 fpm at touchdown. The nose went down 2.2° 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 A320neo taxied from the parking to the runway in 10 minutes, covering 4 nm, and departed from runway 08 at EGDY RNAS Yeovilton. Take-off was performed on a 1,119 m distance (48 % of runway). Rotation occurred at 138 kt. Local weather was temperature 13 °C, wind 15 kt from 030°, giving a crosswind component of 12 kt and a headwind component of 9 kt.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 19 seconds, averaging 2,484 fpm and reaching 164 kt at the top. The climb continued from 1,099 ft asl to 38,424 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 103 nm, starting overhead West Camel. Level flight was held at 39,000 ft asl for 45 minutes, covering 321 nm, beginning 1 mile north-west of Crowborough. Descent from 39,001 ft asl to 2,943 ft asl lasted 28 minutes, covering 148 nm, beginning overhead Rosteig, with brief level-offs at 27,000 ft asl and 13,000 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport began with a descent from 1,602 ft agl to 81 ft agl in 108 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 2,250 ft agl, 166 kt; final flap position 5 was selected at 2,405 ft agl, 168 kt.

Landing on runway 14 (runway length 3,148 m) had a threshold height of 76 ft agl, which was well above target, and a threshold speed of 127 kt, recorded as good. The flare was poor; the aircraft ran out of speed in the flare. Touchdown occurred 416 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 124 kt, noted as good, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 496 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.6 m from the centreline. Local weather was temperature 5 °C, wind 6 kt from 050°, giving a crosswind of 6 kt and no headwind. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,508 m (48 % of runway) and runway rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering 1 nm. The total flight covered 584 nm in 103 minutes and used 3,260 kg of fuel.
