Departure Roll — Takeoff Bounce at 80 %, −0.27 points

Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 158 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

See Departure Roll

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.

Rotated late, and quickly

The nose came up at 165 kt, 7 kt after the 158 kt rotate speed, and rose at 4.0° a second, faster than the 2 to 3 airliners use.

The pull started late and then came quickly, as if to make up the time. Start it on the rotate speed instead, so there is nothing to catch up, and keep it to the normal rate for this aircraft.

Plan view the roll down the 3,623 m runway.

Rolled from 48 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 1.5 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.6 m left. Airborne 48 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 921 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,545 m of runway left; gear up at 304 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,660 fpm on average to 921 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 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 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at: a trace steeper than both is a faster rotation, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 12.1°, the pitch at which this aircraft's tail touches the runway with the wheels still on it, drawn from rotation to liftoff only: once the wheels leave, every foot climbed adds tail clearance.

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 SAEZ 35

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 80 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.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 16 ft, 34 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 15 ft. Touched down 397 m in, 92 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 1,524 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 480 fpm at the flare to 220 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed. Into the flare at 134 kt, on the 132 kt approach speed, and 126 kt at touchdown.

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 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.

From 123 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 24 s, an average deceleration of 0.20 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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 777-200ER taxied from the parking area to runway 34R at KSEA Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 34R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 172 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,752 m (48 % of the runway). Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 10°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind.

The initial climb began overhead KSEA, climbing from 1,388 ft asl to 34,858 ft asl - an increase of 33,470 ft - in 26 minutes while covering 180 nm.

Level cruise commenced 9 nm south of Boardman, Oregon and continued for 324 minutes, during which 2,676 nm were flown.

A subsequent climb started 4 nm west of MNFC Punta Huete Airport, raising the aircraft from 35,247 ft asl to 36,990 ft asl, a gain of 1,744 ft in 3 minutes and covering 28 nm.

The next cruise segment began overhead Catarina, Nicaragua, lasting 174 minutes and encompassing 1,413 nm.

A further climb was initiated 4 nm east of Huarmey, Peru, increasing altitude from 37,005 ft asl to 38,598 ft asl - a rise of 1,593 ft - in 2 minutes while traversing 13 nm.

Cruise then continued 16 nm south-east of Huarmey for 218 minutes, during which 1,723 nm were covered.

Descent began 17 nm north of SABQ La Cura Malal Airport, descending from 38,990 ft asl to 1,340 ft asl, a loss of 37,649 ft in 22 minutes and spanning 123 nm.

The final approach to runway 35 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport reduced altitude from 1,319 ft agl to 44 ft agl in 111 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 35 was achieved with a threshold speed of 134 kt; touchdown occurred 396 m down the runway at 126 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 164 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather reported 19 °C, wind 5 kt from 340°, zero cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind.

The total landing distance recorded was 1,121 m (40 % of the runway), and the rollout alignment was very good.

After arrival, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 6,162 nm, took 778 minutes, and consumed 94,715 kg of fuel.
