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 137 kt with 8.5° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 158 kt target, at 162 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 924 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 614 m of runway left; gear up at 77 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,860 fpm on average to 924 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 2,131 m runway.

Rolled from 75 m in, drifted 1.6 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 60 % 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.

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 3.0 nm, about 980 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 1,000 ft gate and before the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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

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

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 31× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 11 m off the centreline.

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.

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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

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

Wind 360° at 2 kt · 1 kt tail · 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 112 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 71 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.

Began the flare at 42 ft, 19 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 38 ft, 12 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 422 m in, 118 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 780 fpm at the flare to 200 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.0° on the way down.

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.

Flight narrative

KLGA LaGuardia Airport's runway 13 was the departure point for the RJ85 aircraft, which began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes and a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll, utilizing 60% of the 1,276-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 137 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a gentle headwind of 1 knot and a crosswind of 2 knots.

The enroute climb phase commenced as the aircraft passed overhead FLU Flushing, New York, where it began its ascent from 980 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 31,998 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 151 nautical miles and took 27 minutes to complete, resulting in an impressive increase of 31,018 feet. Following a 29-minute level cruise at a distance of 182 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent from 31,998 feet to 6,024 feet, a decrease of 25,975 feet, over a distance of 113 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise at Eastpointe, Michigan, before the aircraft began its final descent to 1,966 feet at Hazel Park, Michigan. The aircraft then proceeded to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, where it executed a final approach to runway 21L from the northeast.

The RJ85 landed smoothly on runway 21L, with a touchdown distance of 422 meters and a speed of 108 knots. The touchdown rate was a respectable -137 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft utilized 31% of the 3,047-meter runway, with a total landing distance of 950 meters. Following a taxiing period of 8 minutes and a distance of 3 nautical miles, the aircraft came to a stop at the parking area. The total flight distance was 478 nautical miles, covering a distance of 99 minutes and consuming 3,294 kilograms of fuel.
