Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

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.

Lifted off at 137 kt with 12.0° of pitch.

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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Reached 35 ft 67 m past the runway end; then climbing at 2,370 fpm on average to 919 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Rolled from 92 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 6 m at the widest, and lifted off 6 m left. Airborne 82 % 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

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

At the 1,000 ft gate: speed more than 33 kt above the approach speed of 132 kt.

At the 500 ft gate: speed more than 20 kt above the approach speed of 132 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: fast all the way, sinking too fast until 3.6 nm and gear up until 3.4 nm.

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.

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.

The crosswind

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 148 kt. Touched down with 2° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 010° at 7 kt · 5 kt head · 4 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 152 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 29 s, an average deceleration of 0.22 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.

Crossed the threshold at 40 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 400 m in, 96 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 1,618 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 900 fpm at 36 ft to 300 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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.

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 flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 02R at Santos Dumont Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,074 meters, which was 82% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 5 knots. After departure, the enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Rio de Janeiro, where the aircraft climbed from 1,006 feet above sea level to 33,054 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,048 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began 27 miles southeast of Ipanema Lake Rio de Janeiro and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 17 miles south of Paraty, where it descended from 33,202 feet above sea level to 3,821 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,381 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 35L at Congonhas Airport was made from the southeast, heading 328.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,173 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 402 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 148 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -319 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 10°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,546 meters, which was 88% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 240 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 55 minutes. The aircraft used 1,491 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
