Next time

Arrival

Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.

What happened: Touchdown drifted 9.1 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 14 m.

Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.

See Arrival TouchdownArrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

A quick rotation

The nose came up at 150 kt against the 149 kt rotate speed, and rose at 4.4° a second, faster than the 2 to 3 airliners use.

The rotation started on speed but the nose came up quickly. A fast pull raises the nose faster than the aircraft can lift off, which brings the tail closer to the runway. Pull smoothly at the normal rate for this aircraft and let it fly off at its own attitude.

Plan view the roll down the 4,334 m runway.

Rolled from 179 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 4.1 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.1 m left. Airborne 38 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 899 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,306 m of runway left; gear up at 114 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,090 fpm on average to 899 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 11.6°, 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 2.5 to 2.2 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.6 nm and slow from 0.4 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.

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 10× larger than distances along the final.

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 1,561 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 56 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 22 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 1,561 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.

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.

Touched down 9.1 m left of the centreline and drifted to 14 m right on the rollout, back to 5.9 m right by the end. Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.

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. 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 109 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 24 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 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 757-200 taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at LEMD, a movement that lasted 11 minutes and covered 2 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 36L with a take-off roll of 1,678 m (39 % of the runway). Rotation occurred at 150 kt. The local weather at departure was 18 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, a 2 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 23 seconds, averaging 2,058 fpm and reaching 191 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 3,084 ft asl to 38,008 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 127 nm, beginning the climb 2 nm north-west of Paracuellos de Jarama.

Cruise was level at 38,000 ft asl for 59 minutes, covering 475 nm, with the aircraft positioned overhead Ollauri.

Descent began from 38,000 ft asl to 3,323 ft asl in 23 minutes, covering 136 nm, starting overhead Lihus. A level segment at 3,000 ft asl followed for 6 minutes, covering 18 nm, beginning over Ranst. The next descent from 2,780 ft asl to 1,812 ft asl took 1 minute, covering 4 nm, starting over Bonheiden.

Final approach to runway 19 at EBBR commenced with a descent from 1,727 ft agl to 292 ft agl in 102 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; the speed check was not met at one gate. Configuration was set with landing gear down at 2,170 ft agl at 154 kt and final flap position 6 at 2,142 ft agl at 155 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 19, whose length is 2,766 m. The threshold height of 57 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed of 127 kt was slightly below target. The flare was described as very good, with little round-out. Touchdown was 273 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 107 kt and a firm rate of minus 352 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline, but there was no bounce.

Total landing distance was 1,469 m (53 % of the runway). Runway rollout was slightly misaligned by 13.6 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, a 2 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.

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

The flight covered 768 nm in 121 minutes and used 6,522 kg of fuel.
