What went well

Touchdown 455 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 22 ft and 129 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 2.29 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Taxi — Taxi Lights at 0 %, peak taxi speed 38 kt at 61 %, −1.43 points
Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, Strobe Lights at 0 %, −0.67 points
Departure Climb 3 — Landing gear up at 567 ft agl at 72 %, −0.60 points

Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.

What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 567 ft agl.

Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 389 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 231 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 153 kt, 6 kt above the 147 kt target, and lifted off at 160 kt 2.5 s later, the nose coming up at 2.9° a second. Climb 3 averaged 147 kt, 14 kt under its 161 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 986 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,006 m of runway left; gear up at 567 ft, 167 ft past the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,230 fpm on average to 986 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 3,329 m runway.

Rolled from 414 m in, drifted 29 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 8 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 63 % 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 4 nm to 0.5 nm, then not again: low 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.

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

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.5 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 70 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +0 kt and +11 kt on the approach speed of 129 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.

The flare96.54

Excellent landing flare. It lost 3.5 points, mostly for 389 fpm of sink coming back after the flare.

The crosswind

7 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 126 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 079° at 9 kt · 4 kt tail · 7 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 136 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 43 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 1,694 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 38 ft, 212 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 22 ft, 28 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 455 m in, 150 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 1,694 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 440 fpm at the flare to 230 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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 Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at Brussels Airport, a movement that lasted 4 minutes and covered 1 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 25R with a take-off distance of 2,100 m, representing 63 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 153 kt. The local weather at departure was 14 °C with wind 9 kt from 330°, giving a 1 kt headwind and a 9 kt crosswind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 25 seconds, averaging 1,972 fpm and reaching 141 kt at the top of the segment. The subsequent climb from 1,174 ft asl to 36,518 ft asl lasted 16 minutes, covering 100 nm and beginning overhead Diegem.

Cruise was maintained at 37,100 ft asl for 74 minutes, covering 535 nm, with the flight beginning the segment overhead Nampcel.

Descent began from 36,883 ft asl and proceeded to 3,180 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 110 nm, starting 7 miles south of Los Rabanos.

Final approach to runway 32R at Madrid-Barajas Airport descended from 1,271 ft agl to -16 ft agl in 97 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration on final was gear down at 2,109 ft agl at 182 kt and final flap position 5 at 2,216 ft agl at 181 kt.

Landing on runway 32R was recorded with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 455 m down the runway at 126 kt, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 232 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, 3.6 m off the centreline, but there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,617 m, 54 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was 22 °C with wind 9 kt from 079°, giving an 8 kt crosswind and a 4 kt tailwind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered a total of 754 nm in 116 minutes and used 4,208 kg of fuel.
