Next time

Departure

Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 6°.

What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.

See Departure Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 117 kt well before the stabilisation gate.

What happened: This flight was fast at the stabilisation gate, then crossed the threshold high on a shallow descent and 30 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 514 m past the target point.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 117 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 128 kt, and lifted off at 145 kt 2.2 s later, the nose coming up at 3.1° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 183 kt target, at 182 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 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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 departed from runway 25C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport. Takeoff was performed with a distance of 825 m, which was 23 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 128 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 30 °C, wind 15 kt from 009°, crosswind 13 kt, tailwind 7 kt.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 12 seconds, averaging 3,238 fpm and reaching 192 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 1,009 ft asl to 2,326 ft asl in 4 minutes, covering 13 nm while remaining overhead VHHH.

Descent began from 2,326 ft asl to 1,005 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 5 nm, starting 2 miles east of Tuen Mun.

During final approach to runway 25L at VHHH, descent was from 874 ft agl to 119 ft agl in 85 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on glideslope, and wings level; they were not met for on centreline and on speed. Configuration on final was flap position 8 at 990 ft agl with a speed of 167 kt.

Landing on runway 25L (runway length 3,773 m) occurred with a threshold height of 73 ft agl, which was well above target, and a threshold speed of 148 kt, which was too high. The flare was described as excellent; the aircraft floated before touching down. Touchdown point was 553 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 128 kt, noted as a little fast. Touchdown rate was good at minus 163 fpm. Runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.8 m from centreline. Local weather at landing was temperature 27 °C, wind 13 kt from 009°, crosswind 11 kt, tailwind 6 kt. No bounce occurred.

Total landing distance was 1,354 m, which was 36 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 m from centreline. Taxiing from the runway to parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.

The entire flight covered 24 nm, lasted 8 minutes, and used 375 kg of fuel.
