Next time

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

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.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 147 kt, on the 149 kt target, and lifted off at 161 kt 4.1 s later, the nose coming up at 1.8° a second. Climb 3 averaged 179 kt, 15 kt over its 164 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 954 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,546 m of runway left; gear up at 95 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,800 fpm on average to 954 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 3,335 m runway.

Rolled from 119 m in, never more than 1.5 m off the centreline. Airborne 45 % 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.

Every check met from 2.7 to 0.4 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.4 nm and low from 0.3 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 0.3 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 50 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.

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.

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 flare99.60

Excellent landing flare. It lost 0.4 points, partly for taking only 409 fpm of the sink out.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 170° at 7 kt · 6 kt head · 2 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 135 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 51 s, an average deceleration of 0.11 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.

Began the flare at 24 ft, 60 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 16 ft, 34 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 272 m in, close to 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 1,524 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 550 fpm at the flare to 300 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 0.5° 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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport in 12 minutes, covering 5 nm. Take-off was performed on runway 25 with a distance of 1,506 m, which was 45 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 147 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 13 °C, wind 7 kt from 267°, giving a 2 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 18 seconds, averaging 2,506 fpm and reaching 179 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 2,275 ft asl to 36,001 ft asl in 16 minutes, covering 95 nm while remaining overhead Stuttgart. Level cruise was held at 36,000 ft asl for 50 minutes, covering 303 nm, beginning about 1 mile south-east of Essenheim.

Descent began at 35,963 ft asl and proceeded to 1,526 ft asl in 29 minutes, covering 146 nm. The descent started 5 miles east of Great Wakering and included brief level-offs at 8,800 ft asl and 6,900 ft asl. The final approach to runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport descended from 1,231 ft agl to 48 ft agl in 108 seconds.

Stabilisation checks were performed at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. The checks that were met included gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed, and wings level. The check that was not met was centreline alignment (at one gate). The landing gear was lowered at 1,214 ft agl while the aircraft was at 152 kt. The final flap position 5 was selected at 1,066 ft agl with a speed of 151 kt.

Landing was made on runway 15, whose length is 2,759 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 143 kt. The flare was described as a great landing flare. Touchdown occurred 272 m down the runway at a speed of 140 kt, which was fast, with a descent rate of minus 299 fpm, rated fair. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,218 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 555 nm, lasted 111 minutes and used 4,760 kg of fuel. Local weather at Birmingham was temperature 10 °C, wind 7 kt from 170°, giving a 3 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.
