Next time

Arrival

Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.3 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.

What happened: The flare pitch reached 2.9°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 294 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.3 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 141 kt, 8 kt below the 149 kt target, and lifted off at 157 kt 5.5 s later, the nose coming up at 1.7° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 164 kt target, at 159 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 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 919 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 738 m of runway left; gear up at 112 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,410 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 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 2,606 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted 2.5 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 12 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 59 % 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.

When the approach was stable

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.

The approach to YSSY 34L

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

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 20 ft above the slope.

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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 45× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 8 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 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −0 kt and +19 kt on the approach speed of 135 kt.

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 flare79.19

The flare wandered off the target profile. Pitch reached 6.5° at touchdown, well above this aircraft's ground attitude. Touchdown was 481 m past the threshold. That is tail strike territory - stop the rotation once the sink is arrested.

The crosswind

11 kt across from the right, which takes about 5° of crab to hold the centreline at 133 kt. Touched down with 5° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 079° at 12 kt · 0 kt tail · 11 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.

Side view — the last 1,669 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 60 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 26 ft. Touched down 481 m in, 176 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 1,669 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 510 fpm at the flare to 290 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.8° 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.

Plan view — the first 1,669 m of the 3,958 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 5.3 m left of the centreline, and steered back to 0.5 m left by the end of the rollout.

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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320-ceo departed Hobart International Airport (YMHB) from runway 12. The take-off roll used 1,547 m, which is 59 % of the runway length. Rotation was achieved at 141 kt. Local weather at departure was 22 °C with wind 15 kt from 210°, giving a 14 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 20 seconds, averaging 2,267 fpm and reaching 156 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 985 ft asl to 36,966 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 138 nm and beginning 1 mile east of Seven Mile Beach.

Cruise was level at 37,000 ft asl for 53 minutes, covering 424 nm and beginning 2 miles south-west of Evandale.

Descent began at 36,958 ft asl and proceeded to 1,316 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 127 nm, starting 5 miles east of Gunning.

On final approach to runway 34L at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY), descent from 1,335 ft agl to 61 ft agl was completed in 101 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 on final was landing gear down at 1,443 ft agl with 162 kt, and final flap position 5 at 1,543 ft agl with 169 kt.

Landing was made on runway 34L, whose length is 3,958 m. The threshold height of 60 ft agl was above target, while the threshold speed of 135 kt was good. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 62 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 133 kt, noted as a little fast, with a vertical rate of minus 294 fpm, described as fair. The touchdown point was 5.9 m off the centreline. One bounce occurred on touchdown. Total landing distance was 1,587 m, representing 40 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

Local weather at Sydney was 18 °C with wind 11 kt from 080°, giving an 11 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind component.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight covered a total of 698 nm in 111 minutes and used 4,066 kg of fuel.
