What went well

Rollout controlled — 40 % of the runway used
Rollout held the centreline — 1.76 m off at taxi speed
Airborne in 1,141 m — 41 % of the runway

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was slightly above target at 155 kt at 0 %, Touched down 77 m short of the threshold, so it was never crossed in the air at 0 %, −3.33 points
Firm touchdown — 623 fpm with one bounce, −2.03 points across the landing and the touchdown
  • Arrival Touchdown · sink rate 623 fpm−1.11
  • Arrival Landing · flare: the descent was not taken out−0.57
  • Arrival Touchdown · bounced once−0.27
  • Arrival Touchdown · 1.75 G at contact−0.09
Arrival Touchdown — Touched down 77 m short of the threshold at 66 %, −0.34 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 148 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 125 kt, 23 kt before the 148 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 148 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 144 kt.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 155 kt against a target of 144 kt, and touchdown followed at 77 m, well short of the 457 m aim point. Carrying extra speed over the threshold usually floats the flare and carries the touchdown point short.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, target 144 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Plan view the roll down the 2,810 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 3 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 40 % 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 820 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,149 m of runway left; gear up at 32 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,710 fpm on average to 820 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 12.1°, 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 4 nm to 0.9 nm, then not again: low from 0.9 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.

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

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.9 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 160 ft under).

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 39× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 9 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

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.

Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it. Landing short is the fault to fix before anything about the hold-off is worth judging.

Began the flare at 36 ft, 1,093 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 24 ft, 26 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 77 m before the threshold.

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.

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 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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 747-8 taxied from the parking area to runway 35 for departure, a taxi of 10 minutes covering 2 nm.

Take-off was on runway 35 at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport. The aircraft used 1,141 m of runway (41 % of runway) and rotated at 125 kt. Local weather was 30 °C with wind 8 kt from 019° (crosswind 5 kt, headwind 6 kt).

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 15 seconds, averaging 2,355 fpm and reaching 216 kt at the top. The climb continued from 904 ft asl to 38,818 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 136 nm, beginning about 1 mile north of SAEZ.

The aircraft levelled at 39,000 ft asl for 116 minutes, covering 1,060 nm, starting roughly 15 mi south-west of Palmitas.

Descent began from 38,574 ft asl to 4,533 ft asl in 25 minutes, covering 165 nm, starting 8 mi east of SIOL Fazenda Pontal Airport Corumbaíba, with brief level-offs at 22,000 ft asl and 5,500 ft asl.

Final approach was to runway 11R at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport. The descent from 1,118 ft agl to -198 ft agl took 89 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on glideslope, on centreline, on speed, wings level. Configuration on final was flap position 6 at 75 ft agl with 163 kt.

Landing occurred on runway 11R. Touchdown was 77 m short of the threshold; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 155 kt. Touchdown speed was 151 kt, a little fast, with a heavy rate of -623 fpm. The flare was described as a fair landing flare with little round-out, and one bounce occurred on touchdown. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Total landing distance was 1,350 m (41 % of runway) and rollout alignment remained perfect. Local weather was 22 °C with wind 6 kt from 080° (crosswind 1 kt, headwind 6 kt).

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The total flight covered 1,371 nm in 179 minutes and used 24,235 kg of fuel.
