Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 157 kt, 14 kt above the 143 kt target, and lifted off at 159 kt 1.8 s later, the nose coming up at 4.5° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 184 kt target, at 187 kt on average.

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 899 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 5,098 ft of runway left; gear up at 68 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,810 fpm on average to 899 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 9,981 ft runway.

Rolled from 158 ft in, never more than 2 ft off the centreline. Airborne 40 % 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 1.8 nm, about 580 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 speed.

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 KAUS 18L

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 60 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, 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.

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 4 nm to 2.0 nm, then slow to 1.8 nm (up to −5 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 020° at 5 kt · 5 kt tail · 1 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 130 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 21 s, an average deceleration of 0.26 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 36 ft, 14 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 29 ft. Touched down 1,616 ft in, 616 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 5,000 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.

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

The sink went from 600 fpm at the flare to 130 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.7° on the way down.

How to read this

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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 09 at KIAH, a movement that lasted 12 minutes and covered 2 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 09 with a take-off roll of 3,687 ft, which was 37 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 157 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 75 °F, wind 8 kt from 080° (crosswind 1 kt, headwind 8 kt).

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 17 seconds, averaging 2,559 fpm and reaching 188 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 859 ft asl to 13,996 ft asl in 6 minutes, covering 29 nm and beginning 2 mi south-west of Humble.

The aircraft levelled at 14,000 ft asl for 37 minutes, covering 198 nm, with the segment starting 1 mi north-east of KIWS.

Descent from 13,988 ft asl to 1,760 ft asl took 12 minutes and covered 44 nm, beginning 2 mi south-east of 30TS.

Final approach to runway 18L at KAUS began with a descent from 1,305 ft agl to 56 ft agl in 105 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 was gear down at 2,288 ft agl, 163 kt; final flap position 8 was set at 2,282 ft agl, 152 kt.

Landing on runway 18L (runway length 9,007 ft) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 234 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 123 kt, with a smooth rate of -131 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather at landing was temperature 66 °F, wind 5 kt from 020° (crosswind 2 kt, tailwind 5 kt). No bounce was observed.

Total landing distance was 4,496 ft, 50 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement of 10 minutes covering 2 nm.

The flight covered 280 nm in 78 minutes and used 6,196 lb of fuel.
