Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power to re-establish a normal three degree glidepath on final.

What happened: On final at the four-mile point, the approach angle was steeper than the target glidepath.

Watch for: VSI against a stable descent rate matching the glidepath angle

See Arrival Final 4

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 153 kt with 6.5° of pitch.

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.

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.

At the 300 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed, glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3°, centreline more than 1° off and wings more than 10° from level.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.7 to 0.2 nm, then not again: slow 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 YAMB 15

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

High from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to 0.9 nm (up to 220 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 1.4 nm, where the final began, to 0.2 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −12 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 crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 130° at 4 kt · 4 kt head · 2 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 106 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 65 s, an average deceleration of 0.06 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.

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 490 fpm at 46 ft to 380 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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.

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.

Flight narrative

A Boeing F/A-18E departed RAAF Base Amberley, taking off from runway 15 with a takeoff distance of 449 meters, representing 15% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots, with a local temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind of 6 knots from 310 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots.

The enroute climb phase began overhead Purga, with the aircraft ascending from 1,030 feet above sea level to 26,040 feet in 6 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 1 mile east of Carbrook and lasted 9 minutes, covering 73 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 26,528 feet to 27,457 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The descent phase started 14 miles southeast of East Ballina, with the aircraft descending from 27,021 feet to 2,181 feet in 3 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple climb and descent phases, with the aircraft eventually beginning its final approach to runway 15 at RAAF Base Amberley from the north.

The final approach was executed with a heading of 205.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 1,498 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 15, with a touchdown distance of 357 meters and a touchdown speed of 109 knots. The touchdown rate was slightly hard at -417 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,400 meters, representing 46% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 374 nautical miles, taking 57 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,271 kilograms of fuel.
