Arrival Taxi — Landing Lights at 29 %, −0.24 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 134 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 144 kt, 10 kt above the 134 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 134 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

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 148 kt, 6 kt above the 142 kt target, and lifted off at 158 kt 3.8 s later, the nose coming up at 2.5° a second. Climb 3 averaged 159 kt, 7 kt under its 166 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 901 ft.

Reached 35 ft at the runway end; gear up at 107 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,270 fpm on average to 901 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 2,433 m runway.

Rolled from 137 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 5.9 m at the widest, and lifted off 6 m left, in 21 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 87 % of the way down the runway, past 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

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

Sink rate50 fpm

On centreline3.7° off
On speed+9.7 kt
Wings level15° bank

At the 300 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off and wings more than 10° from level.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: banked from 1.0 nm, left of the centreline from 0.7 nm and fast from 0.5 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.

The approach to KDCA 19

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 2.4 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 130 ft below 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.

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 2,050 m right of the centreline at 2.4 nm, then 90 m left of it from 0.7 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 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 2.4 nm, where the final began, to 0.5 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +15 kt).

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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

6 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 136 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 219° at 10 kt · 7 kt head · 6 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 131 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 26 s, an average deceleration of 0.20 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 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 41 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 25 ft. Touched down 451 m in, 146 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 1,524 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 630 fpm at the flare to 130 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.6° 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

Departing from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (CYOW), the CRJ900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. With the runway 25 cleared for departure, the aircraft initiated its takeoff roll, utilizing 86% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance of 2,102 meters was achieved at a liftoff speed of 159 knots, with a local temperature of 22°C and a wind of 23 knots at 139 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from CYOW, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 30,266 feet above sea level in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with a total ascent of 28,928 feet. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 230 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 31,989 feet to 2,742 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final descent into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA).

The CRJ900 touched down on runway 19 at KDCA, with a touchdown distance of 451 meters, slightly above the target. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 457 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 44 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,356 kilograms.
