Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 138 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 108 kt against a target of 138 kt, running 30 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 138 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

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

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 wandered in the climb

From 35 ft to the end of the climb the nose moved between 8.0° and 17.5°, and the speed between 94 kt and 120 kt.

Once clear of the runway the nose moved through a wide range, and the speed moved with it. Set the climb attitude, hold it and trim, and give the speed a few seconds to settle before correcting it with a degree or two of pitch. Chasing the airspeed with large pitch changes makes it wander more.

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 976 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 687 m of runway left; gear up at 17 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,450 fpm on average to 976 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 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.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.2 nm, about 510 ft above the runway, to the threshold, before the 300 ft gate. The last to settle was the centreline.

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 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 3× larger than distances along the final.

Joined 631 m left of the centreline at 1.8 nm, then inside the band from 1.2 nm to the threshold.

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 44 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 26 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −4 kt and +24 kt on the approach speed of 87 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 71 ft, 21 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 26 ft. Touched down 308 m in, close to 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 760 fpm at the flare to 380 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.2° on the way down. Into the flare at 81 kt, 6 kt under the 87 kt approach speed, and 75 kt at touchdown.

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.

Flight narrative

The aircraft taxied to runway 27 at London City Airport and commenced the take-off roll, covering 621 m which represented 41 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 92 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a 2 kt wind from 269°, resulting in a 2 kt head-wind component and no cross-wind.

Climb began one mile east of Canary Wharf, where the airplane rose from 1,025 ft asl to 3,320 ft asl, an altitude gain of 2,295 ft in one minute while traversing 2 nm.

A level cruise segment was flown overhead of Canary Wharf for two minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm.

Descent commenced two miles west of Woodford Green, descending from 3,709 ft asl to 3,007 ft asl, a loss of 702 ft over two minutes and a ground track of 6 nm.

The next cruise leg started one mile south-east of Hadley Wood, lasting two minutes and extending 5 nm.

A further descent was initiated over Shenley, dropping from 2,492 ft asl to 1,226 ft asl, a reduction of 1,266 ft in two minutes while covering 4 nm.

The aircraft then entered a cruise segment north-west of North Mymms, remaining level for six minutes and traveling 14 nm.

Descent resumed over Kimpton, falling from 1,949 ft asl to 902 ft asl, a decrease of 1,048 ft in two minutes across 4 nm.

Final approach to runway 25 at London Luton Airport involved a descent from 747 ft agl to 99 ft agl in 64 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 25 was executed with a threshold speed of 88 kt; touchdown occurred at 75 kt and 308 m down the runway, the rate of descent being hard at minus 440 fpm. The runway length is 2,070 m, the threshold height at 72 ft agl was above target, and the total landing distance measured 775 m (37 % of the runway). Alignment on touchdown and rollout was perfect, and local weather reported 15 °C with a 2 kt wind from 270°, providing a 2 kt head-wind and 1 kt cross-wind.

Runway rollout proceeded without deviation, maintaining the perfect alignment noted at touchdown.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to parking in one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.

In total the flight covered 44 nm, took 18 minutes, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
