Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 549 m at 90 %, −0.15 points

Next time

Departure

Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 124 kt, not after it.

What happened: You started the rotation at 146 kt, 22 kt past the 124 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 124 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.

What happened: Touchdown point came 92 m past the target, landing at 549 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 departed NZAA Auckland International Airport on runway 05R, applying a take-off roll of 828 m which represented 25 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 146 kt. Ambient conditions were 14 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 100°, comprising a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.

During the climb the aircraft accelerated from 948 ft asl to 1 882 ft asl, an increase of 933 ft in less than one minute while covering one nautical mile, commencing directly overhead the departure airport.

Level cruise began one mile west of Wiri and was maintained for five minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 11 nm.

The descent phase started six miles south-west of NZAA, with altitude decreasing from 1 561 ft asl to 885 ft asl, a loss of 676 ft over two minutes while covering four nautical miles.

On final approach to runway 05R the aircraft descended from 1 050 ft agl to 82 ft agl in 83 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.

Touchdown occurred on runway 05R, whose total length is 3 284 m. The threshold height of 56 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was recorded at 122 kt. The aircraft contacted the runway 127 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 113 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 134 fpm and a lateral deviation of 4.6 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 898 m, representing 27 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.

In total the flight covered 21 nm, required eight minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 435 kg of fuel.
