What went well

Held the centreline on the roll in a 11 kn crosswind — 2.23 m off at liftoff
Touchdown 137 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 33 ft and 135 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -584 fpm at 21 %, g force 0.98 to 2.09 g at 52 %, −1.46 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 36 %, Runway alignment max 9.77 m left at 76 %, −1.23 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 7.91 m right at 82 %, −0.53 points

Next time

Work on the flare

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Plan view the roll down the 3,292 m runway.

Rolled from 97 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 4.1 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.5 m left, in 11 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 54 % 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 890 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,001 m of runway left; gear up at 44 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,620 fpm on average to 890 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.

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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. 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.

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 0.5 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.5 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 KMIA 30

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 50 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 18× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.5 nm, then 20 m left of it from 0.5 nm to the threshold.

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 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −4 kt and +10 kt on the approach speed of 139 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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 33 ft, 17 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 1 ft. Touched down 137 m in, 168 m short of 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 870 fpm at the flare to 580 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed. Into the flare at 135 kt, 4 kt under the 139 kt approach speed, and 135 kt at touchdown.

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.

Touched down 7.8 m left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 9.8 m left at the widest. 11 kt across from the right, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 135 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, 2.5° of bank.

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.

The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.

From 140 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 25 s, an average deceleration of 0.23 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

Departing from Zürich Airport (LSZH), the Boeing 747-8 began its journey on runway 32, taking off with a distance of 1,797 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 185 knots, with a local temperature of 18°C and a moderate headwind of 3 knots. The wind direction was from 239°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of Zürich, it reached an altitude of 35,984 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,572 feet from the initial 2,412 feet. This climb phase took 17 minutes and covered 99 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 22 nautical miles. Subsequent climb phases took the aircraft to higher altitudes, with a final level cruise phase lasting 592 minutes and covering 3,964 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 40,006 feet to 1,282 feet in 25 minutes and covering 146 nautical miles.

The Boeing 747-8 landed on runway 30 at Miami International Airport (KMIA), with a touchdown distance of 132 meters and a speed of 135 knots. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -970 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,263 nautical miles, taking 652 minutes and consuming 83,516 kilograms of fuel.
