Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 204 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 164 kt against a target of 204 kt, running 40 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 204 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.

What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 17 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 28 m.

Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.

See Arrival LandingArrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Rotated at 145 kt, on the 144 kt target, and lifted off at 155 kt 2.5 s later, the nose coming up at 2.9° a second. Climb 3 averaged 164 kt, 40 kt under its 204 kt target.

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 figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. 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 863 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,721 m of runway left; gear up at 863 ft, 165 ft past the 698 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,920 fpm on average to 863 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 3,666 m runway.

Rolled from 172 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 6.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 6.5 m right. Airborne 44 % 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.

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 1.9 nm, about 630 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 sink rate.

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.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 50 ft above 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.

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 +6 kt and +9 kt on the approach speed of 140 kt.

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.

The flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 710 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

The crosswind

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 143 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, wings level.

Wind 231° at 6 kt · 4 kt head · 4 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 80 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 21 s, an average deceleration of 0.13 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.

Side view — the last 1,967 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 50 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 19 ft. Touched down 710 m in, 406 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 1,967 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 640 fpm at the flare to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose went down 1.8° on the way down.

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

The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 15L, the Boeing 777-300ER accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,624 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and lifted off at 156 kt. Local weather at the time was 30 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 259°, a crosswind component of 3 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.

The initial climb began 1 mile south of KIAH, climbing from 1,075 ft asl to 4,998 ft asl, an increase of 3,923 ft achieved in 2 minutes while covering 9 nm.

A brief level cruise commenced 5 miles west of Aldine, Texas, lasting 2 minutes and extending over 7 nm.

The next climb segment started 1 mile north-west of TX18 Redmond Taylor Army Heliport, Dallas, rising from 4,999 ft asl to 35,962 ft asl, an increase of 30,963 ft in 12 minutes and covering 79 nm.

A prolonged cruise phase began 2 miles west of 9TE7 Flying G H Ranch Airport, Paige, lasting 156 minutes and spanning 1,158 nm.

Descent commenced 13 miles north-east of 3Q0 Mina Airport, Nevada, descending from 36,008 ft asl to 7,466 ft asl, a loss of 28,542 ft in 22 minutes while covering 123 nm.

A short cruise segment followed 4 miles south-west of NV47 Palomino Airport, Sparks, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.

The subsequent descent began 2 miles north-east of NV17 Youngberg Ranch Airport, Lemmon Valley, dropping from 7,403 ft asl to 5,763 ft asl, a decrease of 1,640 ft in 2 minutes over 7 nm.

Final approach to runway 17R at KRNO Reno-Tahoe International Airport was executed from the north, on a heading of 180.0°, at 4 nm and 1,333 ft agl.

A go-around was initiated on runway 17R at KRNO when the aircraft reached 6 ft agl, prompting a climb back to a missed-approach altitude before a subsequent approach.

Landing on runway 17R at KRNO was performed on a runway 3,048 m long; the threshold speed was recorded at 145 kt. Touchdown occurred 172 m down the runway at 143 kt with a touchdown rate of minus 201 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 20.9 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 13 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 232°, a crosswind component of 5 kt and a headwind component of 4 kt. Total landing distance measured 1,051 m, representing 34 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was off by 27.6 m from the centreline.

In total, the flight covered 1,398 nm, required 209 minutes, and consumed 23,799 kg of fuel.
