What went well

Touchdown 224 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 21 ft and 117 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 0.83 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −0.95 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -266 fpm at 79 %, −0.29 points
Departure Roll — Rotation speed was 104 kt at 84 %, −0.21 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 123 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 104 kt, 19 kt before the 123 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 123 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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 104 kt, 19 kt below the 123 kt target, and lifted off at 144 kt 13.2 s later, the nose coming up at 0.5° a second. Climb 3 averaged 164 kt, 6 kt over its 158 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 942 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,833 m of runway left; gear up at 54 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,860 fpm on average to 942 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 3,288 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, never more than 1 m off the centreline. Airborne 37 % 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.

At the 1,000 ft gate: speed more than 30 kt above the approach speed of 118 kt.

At the 500 ft gate: speed more than 18 kt above the approach speed of 118 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: sinking too fast until 2.4 nm, fast until 0.3 nm, low from 0.3 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 LFML 31R

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 4° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.3 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: 4° here, which is about 420 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 70 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 16× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 24 m off the centreline.

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 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 0.3 nm (up to +64 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 flare90.26

The flare mostly held the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 1.1° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 224 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The crosswind

6 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 112 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 240° at 7 kt · 2 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 112 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 71 s, an average deceleration of 0.06 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.

Began the flare at 28 ft, 47 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 21 ft, 29 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 224 m in, 80 m short of 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 550 fpm at the flare to 270 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.1° 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.

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 Berlin Brandenburg Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 24R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 145 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,234 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length, was achieved in a smooth and efficient manner.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 28,462 feet above sea level in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft eventually reaching its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 64 minutes and covered a distance of 462 nautical miles, with the aircraft maintaining a steady speed and altitude. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile east of Pont-en-Royans, France. The descent phase was completed in 23 minutes, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 29,009 feet to 1,896 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 31R at Marseille Provence Airport was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 314.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,809 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 112 knots and a touchdown distance of 226 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was firm at -310 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 718 nautical miles was achieved in 121 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 4,466 kilograms of fuel.
