The roll
Liftoff and climb
Plan view the roll down the 2,512 m runway.
Rolled from the start of the runway, never more than 0.9 m off the centreline. Airborne 32 % 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. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 952 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,500 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,980 fpm on average to 952 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 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.
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 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.
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 10 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 39× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 9 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 31 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between −1 kt and +13 kt on the approach speed of 125 kt.
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 48 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 389 m in, 84 m past 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 570 fpm at 48 ft to 120 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.1° on the way down. Into 48 ft at 126 kt, on the 125 kt approach speed, and 123 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.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 3.1 m left of the centreline, and steered back to 0.8 m left by the end of the rollout. 5 kt across from the left, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 123 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, wings level.
Wind 220° at 11 kt · 9 kt head · 5 kt across
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.
The 389 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The stop — touchdown to taxi speed.
From 113 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 21 s, an average deceleration of 0.21 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.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 21 at Eindhoven Airport (EHEH), with a takeoff distance of 1,004 meters, which was 40% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 13 knots. After departing from Eindhoven, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued to an altitude of 11,882 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 19 nautical miles and took 5 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 10,789 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south-west of Gilze Rijen Air Base (EHGR). This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles west of Stabroek, Belgium. The descent took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude of 10,170 feet.
The final approach to Brussels Airport (EBBR) was made to runway 25L from the east, with a heading of 250.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 3,082 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 126 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 387 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -177 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at Brussels Airport were 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 220 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,132 meters, which was 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 78 nautical miles, and the flight took 33 minutes. The aircraft used 1,202 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
