Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 78 kt fast at 248 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 82 ft.

What happened: The flare began at 82 ft, 37 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 706 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The nose started up before the rotate speed and then came up slowly, as if easing it off early. Wait for the rotate speed, then make one steady pull at the normal rate for this aircraft.

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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 741 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.

Reached 35 ft with 1,054 m of runway left; gear up at 130 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 950 fpm on average to 741 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 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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. 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 2.0 to 3.0° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Airbus A320neo pilots over the last 180 days (154 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.

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.

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 1,524 m of the approach.

Began the flare high, at 82 ft, 167 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 42 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 243 m in, 61 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.

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 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.

From 146 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 32 s, an average deceleration of 0.19 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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320neo departed from runway 21 at LFRS Nantes Atlantique Airport. Rotation was achieved at 137 kt and the take-off run was 1,104 m (41 % of the runway). Local weather was 16 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 44 seconds at an average rate of 864 fpm, reaching 250 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 846 ft asl to 24,589 ft asl in 8 minutes while covering 44 nm, beginning the climb about 1 mile north-west of La Chevroliere. Cruise was maintained at 25,000 ft asl for 184 minutes, covering 1,344 nm, starting roughly 1 mile south of Thouarsais-Bouildroux.

Descent began from 24,999 ft asl to 3,274 ft asl in 10 minutes over 62 nm, starting 11 miles west of Oia. A subsequent climb from 3,309 ft asl to 5,903 ft asl lasted 2 minutes and covered 7 nm, beginning 14 miles north of Sision. The final descent segment dropped from 5,938 ft asl to 1,609 ft asl in 5 minutes over 20 nm, starting 7 miles north-east of Sision.

On final approach to runway 27 at LGIR Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,566 ft agl to 70 ft agl in 91 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. The landing gear was lowered at 2,726 ft agl at 289 kt; the final flap position 3 was selected at 2,699 ft agl at 210 kt.

Touchdown occurred on runway 27. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 150 kt. The flare was described as good, although it started early. Touchdown was recorded at 147 kt, a little fast, with a very heavy rate of -706 fpm. The touchdown distance was 243 m, considered good, and alignment was very good with no bounce. Total landing distance was 843 m (31 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 15 °C with wind 1 kt from 269°, a 0 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 1,485 nm in 217 minutes and used 4,395 kg of fuel.
