Next time

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 112 kt, 9 kt below the 121 kt target, and lifted off at 120 kt 3.1 s later, the nose coming up at 2.4° a second. Climb 3 averaged 145 kt, 6 kt over its 139 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 789 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 426 m of runway left; gear up at 42 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,160 fpm on average to 789 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 1,060 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, never more than 1.4 m off the centreline. Airborne 34 % 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

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.

Gear down
Landing flap
Sink rate1,520 fpm
On glideslope3.8°

On speed+18 kt
Wings level1° bank

At the 500 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed and speed more than 17 kt above the approach speed of 110 kt.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.4 to 0.2 nm, then not again: low 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 LOWG 34C

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

High from 3.8 nm, where the final began, to 1.8 nm (up to 1,300 ft over), then back on it to 0.2 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 40 ft under).

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 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 650 m left of the centreline at 3.8 nm, then inside the band from 2.5 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 28 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 17 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

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 flare77.18

The flare wandered off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 3.5° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 247 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 352° at 1 kt · 1 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 104 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 45 s, an average deceleration of 0.09 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 40 ft, 42 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 33 ft, 17 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 247 m in, 58 m short of 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 went from 580 fpm at the flare to 300 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.5° 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 ATR 72 taxied from its parking position to runway 23 at LIRQ Florence Airport, covering 3 nm in a 17-minute taxi-out.

During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 361 m, representing 34 % of the runway, and lifted off at 121 kt; local weather reported a temperature of 28 °C, wind 6 kt from 257°, with a 3 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt headwind.

Climb commenced one mile south-west of LIRQ, where the airplane rose from 969 ft asl to 17 931 ft asl, an increase of 16 963 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 57 nm.

The first cruise segment began two miles west of Sant'Agata Feltria, lasting 42 minutes and extending over 192 nm at level flight.

Descent started overhead Spodnji Hotic in Slovenia, with the aircraft descending from 18 001 ft asl to 5 592 ft asl, a loss of 12 410 ft completed in 12 minutes and spanning 52 nm.

A brief second cruise was initiated one mile north-east of Sankt Nikolai im Sausal, lasting 3 minutes and covering 7 nm before the final approach.

On final approach to runway 34C at LOWG Graz Airport, the aircraft descended from 1 863 ft agl to 25 ft agl in 84 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 34C, which is 2 996 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 108 kt (slightly below target); touchdown was recorded at 246 m down the runway at 103 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 404 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.2 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 16 °C temperature, wind 1 kt from 353°, with no crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.

The total landing distance measured 742 m, representing 25 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was noted as perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to its parking stand in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 317 nm, required 86 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 797 kg of fuel.
