Threshold crossed at 39 ft and 130 kt — both inside band
Flare on profile — 93 %

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 57 %, −1.90 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 954 m at 0 %, Runway alignment max 15.19 m right at 64 %, −1.36 points

Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 174 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 35 kt fast at 209 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 174 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.

What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 954 m past the threshold, 497 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

The pull started after the rotate speed had gone by. Bring the airspeed into the scan as it approaches the rotate speed, so the pull starts on the number rather than when you notice it has passed.

Plan view the roll down the 3,594 m runway.

Rolled from 81 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 3.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.1 m left. Airborne 30 % 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 848 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,234 m of runway left; gear up at 231 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 3,030 fpm on average to 848 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 1.8 to 2.9° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A321neo pilots over the last 180 days (45 takeoffs); the grey pair are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at. A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 9.7°, 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 3.3 to 2.7 nm, then not again: right of the centreline from 2.4 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.

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: 3.5° here, which is about 370 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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.

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.

Side view — the last 1,705 m of the approach.

Began the flare high, at 98 ft, 293 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 39 ft, 11 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 954 m in, 649 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 1,705 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.

Touched down 15 m right of the centreline, and steered back to 0.7 m right by the end of the rollout. 7 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 120 kt. Touched down with the nose 9° into wind, 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.

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.

The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 14 seconds, averaging 2,975 fpm and reaching 215 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,224 ft asl to 34,956 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 104 nm, beginning 1 mile east of LTFJ and including a brief level-off at 13,900 ft asl.

Cruise was maintained at 35,000 ft asl for 37 minutes, covering 279 nm, with the flight starting 4 miles north-west of Seben.

Descent began from 34,968 ft asl to 1,881 ft asl in 28 minutes, covering 148 nm, starting 4 miles north of UEnye.

A go-around was executed on runway 29 at LTCG Trabzon International Airport at 1,111 ft agl.

On the subsequent final approach to runway 29 at LTCG, descent continued from 1,689 ft agl to 91 ft agl in 111 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway showed gear down, landing flap, on speed, and wings level met; sink rate (at one gate), on glideslope, and on centreline (at one gate) not met. Configuration was landing gear down at 1,598 ft agl, 150 kt; final flap position 9 at 1,503 ft agl, 140 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 29, whose length is 2,637 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 130 kt. The flare was described as great, starting early. Touchdown was 530 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 120 kt, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 216 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 15.2 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was temperature 7 °C, wind 8 kt from 220°, giving a 7 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind. No bounce occurred.

Total landing distance was 1,618 m, 61 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 578 nm in 107 minutes and used 3,350 kg of fuel.
