From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 142 kt with 8.4° of pitch. Climb 3 held close to its 158 kt target, at 159 kt on average.
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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 921 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 2,170 m of runway left; gear up at 64 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,870 fpm on average to 921 ft.
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 3,984 m runway.
Rolled from 100 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 2.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.8 m left. Airborne 39 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
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.
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.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 2.0 nm, about 670 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 1,000 ft gate and before the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.
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 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 30 ft below the slope.
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 52× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 6 m off the centreline.
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 2.0 nm (up to +70 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.
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.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Perfect landing flare
3 kt across from the left, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 114 kt. Touched down with 1° of it still on, wings level.
Wind 170° at 4 kt · 3 kt head · 3 kt across
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.
From 112 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 77 s, an average deceleration of 0.06 g.
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.
Crossed the threshold at 49 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 29 ft. Touched down 338 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.
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 920 fpm at the flare to 120 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.2° on the way down.
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 1,524 m of the 3,289 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2.1 m left of the centreline, and stayed within 2.6 m of it down the rollout.
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.
The 338 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport (EDDM), the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 26L, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,593 meters, or 40% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 143 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19°C, with a gentle headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, which started overhead Hallbergmoos in Bavaria, Germany. The aircraft successfully ascended from an initial altitude of 2,429 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 29,768 feet, a vertical increase of 27,338 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 28 minutes and spanned 219 nautical miles, before initiating its enroute descent phase. The descent phase, which began 1 mile east of Krusenhagen in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, saw the aircraft descend from 29,648 feet to 1,326 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,322 feet, in 23 minutes and covering 131 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 22L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH), approaching from the northeast at a heading of 221.0°. The aircraft landed smoothly on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 349 meters, or 28% of the runway length, and a touchdown speed of 114 knots. The touchdown rate was a smooth -123 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 484 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 1 hour and 29 minutes, and the aircraft utilized 2,904 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
