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 426 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 480 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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 137 kt, 8 kt below the 145 kt target, and lifted off at 148 kt 3.6 s later, the nose coming up at 1.9° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 161 kt target, at 160 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 908 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 651 m of runway left; gear up at 328 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,030 fpm on average to 908 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 2,138 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 1.9 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. 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 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 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 EBBR 25R

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 70 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 8× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 48 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 31 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +1 kt and +3 kt on the approach speed of 124 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 flare97.07

The flare tracked the target profile closely. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 700 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 3° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 269° at 2 kt · 2 kt head · 0 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 120 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 21 s, an average deceleration of 0.22 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 1,533 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 64 ft, 14 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 29 ft. Touched down 700 m in, 395 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 1,533 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 470 fpm at the flare to 50 fpm at 13 ft, then back up to 480 fpm at touchdown. The nose went down 0.9° 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 Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport, a taxi of 10 minutes covering 2 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 30 with a distance of 1,156 m (54 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 137 kt. Local weather was 18 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 24 seconds, averaging 1,862 fpm and reaching 162 kt at the top. The climb continued from 1,396 ft asl to 34,013 ft asl in 14 minutes, covering 78 nm, beginning 1 mile east of Erandio.

Cruise was level at 34,000 ft asl for 55 minutes, covering 413 nm, beginning 4 miles north-west of Guethary.

Descent from 34,009 ft asl to 1,302 ft asl took 23 minutes over 130 nm, starting overhead Flers-sur-Noye, with a brief level-off at 10,900 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport descended from 1,241 ft agl to -87 ft agl in 114 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 on final was flap position 2 at 2,037 ft agl, speed 198 kt.

Landing on runway 25R (runway length 3,329 m) had a threshold height of 64 ft agl, above target, and a threshold speed of 125 kt, good. The flare was described as excellent; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 276 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 121 kt, good, with a hard rate of -480 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was very good. No bounce occurred.

Total landing distance was 1,444 m (43 % of the runway). Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 m from the centreline. Local weather was 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered 629 nm in 104 minutes and used 3,785 kg of fuel.
