Arrival

Fly the aircraft onto the runway at the aim point instead of holding it off and letting it float further down the runway.

What happened: This landing touched down well beyond the target point on the runway, with nothing else in the approach or flare accounting for it.

Watch for: Aim point markings: touchdown at the target point on the runway.

See Arrival Touchdown

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

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 1.5 to 2.3° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A350-900 pilots over the last 180 days (59 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 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.

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.

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.

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right.

Crossed the threshold at 37 ft, 13 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 7 ft. Touched down 785 m in, 481 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 1,921 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.

Wind 040° at 3 kt · 2 kt head · 2 kt across

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. 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 A350-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 16L at KSEA, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered 3 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 16L with a take-off distance of 2,227 m, representing 61 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 174 kt. Local weather at departure was 16 °C with wind 5 kt from 109°, giving a 4 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind component.

The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 17 seconds, averaging 2,169 fpm and reaching 192 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,243 ft asl to 33,892 ft asl in 29 minutes, covering 205 nm, beginning 1 mile south-east of Normandy Park.

A cruise segment at 34,000 ft asl lasted 216 minutes and covered 1,816 nm, beginning 16 mi north-west of Tofino. The aircraft then climbed from 34,000 ft asl to 35,988 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering 25 nm, starting at latitude 57.6197257 longitude -176.2938908.

A higher cruise between 36,000 ft asl and 40,000 ft asl continued for 450 minutes, covering 3,124 nm, beginning at latitude 57.5025527 longitude -177.0725715.

Descent began from 39,998 ft asl to 1,435 ft asl in 43 minutes, covering 225 nm, starting 47 mi north-east of ZSDY Dongying Shengli Dongying, with a brief level-off at 16,900 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 01 at ZBAA was conducted from 1,385 ft agl to 129 ft agl in 107 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration on final was landing gear down at 3,055 ft agl with 210 kt, and final flap position 4 at 2,357 ft agl with 157 kt.

Landing on runway 01, runway length 3,797 m, had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 kt. The flare was described as great but started late. Touchdown occurred 364 m beyond the touchdown zone at 135 kt, a little fast, with an excellent descent rate of minus 90 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 9.3 m from the centreline. Local weather was 8 °C with wind 3 kt from 040°, giving a 2 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind. No bounce occurred.

Total landing distance was 1,837 m, 48 % of the runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering 2 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 5,407 nm in 759 minutes and used 83,611 kg of fuel.
