Threshold crossed at 40 ft and 159 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 8.2 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 ft agl at 0 %, −2.00 points
Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 100 %, −0.48 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 1,769 ft at 91 %, −0.09 points

Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.

What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.

Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.

What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.

Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.

See Arrival Approach

Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

Plan view the roll down the 8,416 ft runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, never more than 4 ft off the centreline. Airborne 58 % 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 939 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,433 ft of runway left; then climbing at 2,460 fpm on average to 939 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 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 9.5°, 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.

At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 3.0 nm, about 840 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 centreline.

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 glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft 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 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 2,390 ft right of the centreline, then inside the band from 3.0 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 39 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 23 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +3 kt and +6 kt on the approach speed of 154 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.

Side view — the last 7,233 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 40 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 30 ft. Touched down 1,769 ft in, 769 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 7,233 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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.

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 8 ft left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 15 ft left at the widest. 3 kt across from the left, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 151 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, 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.

The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.

From 149 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 53 s, an average deceleration of 0.12 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

The MD-11 departed KFLL Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport on runway 10L. The take-off roll was 4,874 ft, using 58 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 154 kt. Local weather was 84 °F with wind 2 kt from 060°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 21 seconds, averaging 2,344 fpm and reaching 182 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,016 ft asl to 33,960 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 102 nm and beginning about 1 mile north-east of Dania Beach.

Cruise was level between 34,000 ft asl and 36,000 ft asl for 90 minutes, covering 713 nm, starting roughly 2 miles north of 20FA Golden Land Ranch Airport Okeechobee.

Descent began at 34,722 ft asl and proceeded to 1,622 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 89 nm, with the segment starting about 2 miles south-east of Charlestown.

For the final approach to runway 05R at KIND Indianapolis International Airport, descent from 1,297 ft agl to 57 ft agl took 91 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed and wings level; the centreline check was not met at one gate. Configuration changes were gear down at 2,456 ft agl at 188 kt and final flap position 6 at 2,057 ft agl at 171 kt.

Landing on runway 05R, which is 9,991 ft long, occurred with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 160 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown was 393 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 151 kt, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 238 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 6,969 ft, 70 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The overall flight covered 912 nm in 136 minutes and consumed 39,192 lb of fuel.
