Add power on short final to recover 143 kt by the threshold, then hold that speed through the flare.

What happened: Crossing the threshold at 132 kt against the 143 kt target usually leaves too little energy for the flare, and the sink that then returns usually carries through to a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 143 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Plan view the roll down the 2,911 m runway.

Rolled from 62 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 6.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 5.7 m right. Airborne 51 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 1,018 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,139 m of runway left; gear up at 27 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,530 fpm on average to 1,018 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 2.6 to 3.5° a second, the middle half of rotation rates flown by other Boeing 737 MAX 8 pilots over the last 180 days (80 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°, 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.

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.

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.

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.

Crossed the threshold at 33 ft, 17 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 17 ft. Touched down 514 m in, 210 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 1,524 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 arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way. 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 130 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 27 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 Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to the runway for 10 minutes, covering 3 nm, and departed from runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport. Take-off used 1,497 m of runway (51 % of runway). Rotation occurred at 125 kt. Local weather was 11 °C with wind 13 kt from 080°, giving a 1 kt crosswind and a 13 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 37 seconds, averaging 1,429 fpm and reaching 199 kt at the top. The climb continued from 1,242 ft asl to 30,990 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 115 nm, beginning 1 mile north-west of Copthorne with a brief level-off at 6,000 ft asl.

The aircraft levelled at 31,000 ft asl for 74 minutes, covering 507 nm, starting overhead Bois-Guillaume. Descent from 31,001 ft asl to 1,344 ft asl took 20 minutes and covered 98 nm, beginning 29 miles south-east of la Barceloneta.

Final approach to runway 24R at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport began with a descent from 1,365 ft agl to 137 ft agl in 96 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,086 ft agl at 170 kt; final flap position 7 was selected at 931 ft agl at 153 kt.

Landing on runway 24R (runway length 3,214 m) had a good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly below target at 132 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 93 m beyond the touchdown zone at 121 kt, with a firm rate of -322 fpm. The touchdown point was 5.5 m off the centreline but no bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,246 m (39 % of runway) and rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 730 nm in 130 minutes and used 4,802 kg of fuel. Local weather at landing was 23 °C with wind 6 kt from 080°, giving a 2 kt crosswind and a 6 kt tailwind.
