What went well

Touched down at -150 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 54 ft and 135 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 0.37 m 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 Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 520 m at 93 %, −0.07 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

Adjust your approach path so you touch down at the 457 m aim point instead of beyond it.

What happened: Touchdown point came 63 m past the target, landing at 520 m against the 457 m aim point. Landings that touch down this far beyond the aim point typically leave less runway available for stopping.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

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 3,589 m runway.

Rolled from 141 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 7.5 m at the widest, and lifted off 7.6 m right. 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.

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 2.1 to 2.9° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A320ceo pilots over the last 180 days (230 takeoffs); the grey pair are 2 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at. A trace steeper than both green lines is a faster rotation than most, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 11.7°, 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.

Every check met from 4 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.

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.

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.

Side view — the last 1,541 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 54 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 20 ft. Touched down 520 m in, 215 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 1,541 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.

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 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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 08L at EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport in 12 minutes, covering 3 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 08L. The aircraft used 1,627 m of runway (45 % of the available length) and rotated at 157 kt. Local weather was 10 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 219°, a crosswind component of 3 kt and a tailwind component of 3 kt.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 18 seconds, averaging 2,489 fpm and reaching 181 kt at the top of the segment.

The climb continued from 1,471 ft asl to 31,009 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 124 nm, beginning 1 mile south of Zwochau.

Level cruise at 31,000 ft asl was held for 18 minutes, covering 134 nm, beginning 1 mile west of Maszewo.

Descent from 30,828 ft asl to 1,785 ft asl took 22 minutes and covered 118 nm, beginning 2 miles west of Osiek Maly, with a brief level-off at 5,000 ft asl.

A go-around was initiated on runway 11 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport at 172 ft agl, followed by a second go-around on the same runway at 208 ft agl.

On the final approach to runway 11, the aircraft descended from 1,426 ft agl to 81 ft agl in 107 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 2,319 ft agl and 203 kt; final flap position 5 was selected at 1,458 ft agl and 163 kt.

Landing was made on runway 11, whose length is 2,796 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 136 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 99 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 130 kt, noted as a little fast, with a descent rate of minus 150 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce occurred.

Total landing distance was 1,456 m (52 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 7 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 120°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind component of 7 kt.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 496 nm in 105 minutes and used 49 kg of fuel.
