See Arrival Approach

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.

Lifted off at 80 kt with 3.4° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 125 kt target, at 123 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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Rolled from 82 m in, drifted 4.3 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 17 % 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 300 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.

At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set, centreline more than 1° off and wings more than 10° from level.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: fast until 0.6 nm, banked until 0.5 nm, right of the centreline 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.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 30 ft below 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.

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.

Fast from 1.2 nm, where the final began, to 0.6 nm (up to +31 kt), then inside the band to 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 flare90.19

The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare was pumped rather than held: pitch changed direction 3 times on the way down. Touchdown was 227 m past the threshold. One smooth continuous input - chasing the runway with the elevator makes the next correction bigger, not smaller.

The crosswind

5 kt across from the right, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 55 kt. Touched down with 4° of it still on, 3° of bank.

Wind 195° at 17 kt · 16 kt head · 5 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 43 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 10 s, an average deceleration of 0.07 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.

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 1,224 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.

Flight narrative

Departure from Reichelsheim Airfield (EDFB) commenced with a departure roll on runway 18, utilizing 268 meters, or 22% of the 1,230-meter runway length. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 81 knots, clearing the ground in a relatively short distance. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a moderate headwind of 15 knots from a direction of 195 degrees, resulting in a crosswind component of 5 knots.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 949 feet above sea level to 955 feet, a gain of 6 feet over a period of 1 minute. This climb phase was initiated overhead Florstadt, a location situated in the state of Hessen, Germany. Following a brief enroute level cruise of 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles, the aircraft continued its descent towards the final approach phase. The final approach was conducted from a heading of 177.0 degrees, with the aircraft at an altitude of 220 feet above ground level and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

The landing on runway 18 at EDFB was executed with good threshold height and threshold speed, reaching 70 knots. The touchdown distance of 228 meters, or 31% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 55 knots and the touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute were both satisfactory. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 383 meters was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft utilized 2 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a total distance of 7 nautical miles and lasted 4 minutes.
