Next time

Departure

Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 9°.

Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink only for 982 fpm of it to come back as the aircraft ballooned before touchdown; this pattern usually carries the touchdown further down the runway, and here it touched down 651 m past the target point.

Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

It was on speed over the threshold, so this was more back pressure than the speed could take: raise the nose more slowly and stop as soon as the sink is checked.

Plan view the roll down the 4,091 m runway.

Rolled from 116 m in, drifted 6.9 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 47 % 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 871 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,750 m of runway left; gear up at 364 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,720 fpm on average to 871 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 to 3° a second, the rates airliners are rotated at: a trace steeper than both is a faster rotation, one shallower than both a slower one. The red dashed line is 11.6°, 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

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 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

Never every check met at once: fast until 0.3 nm, high until 0.3 nm, sinking too fast from 1.4 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 final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

High from 3.9 nm, where the final began, to 0.3 nm (up to 1,620 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 37 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Slow from 3.9 nm, where the final began, to 3.5 nm (up to −10 kt), then inside the band to 0.7 nm, then fast to 0.3 nm (up to +16 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 flare strayed well off the target profile

The flare ballooned 11 ft agl back up from 19 ft agl above the runway, 353 m in. Touchdown was 1,108 m past the threshold. It was on speed over the threshold, so this was more back pressure than the speed could take: raise the nose more slowly and stop as soon as the sink is checked. Once it has ballooned, hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing.

Side view — the last 1,918 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 44 ft, 6 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 39 ft, 11 ft below the 50 ft target; ballooned 11 ft from 19 ft. Touched down 1,108 m in, 803 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 1,918 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.

From the flare the descent stopped and turned into a climb of 330 fpm before coming down at 180 fpm to touch. The nose came up 2.3° on the way down. Into the flare at 150 kt, 4 kt over the 146 kt approach speed, and 132 kt at touchdown.

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 1,918 m of the 2,766 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.

Touched down 5.9 m left of the centreline and drifted to 9 m right on the rollout. Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 4° right of the track, 8.2° of bank.

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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 757-200 taxied from the parking area to runway 14R at LEMD, covering 1 nm in 9 minutes.

Take-off was performed on runway 14R. The aircraft used 1,943 m of runway (47 % of the available length) and rotated at 159 kt. Local weather was 18 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 16 seconds, averaging 2,693 fpm and reaching 158 kt at the top of the climb.

The climb continued from 2,975 ft asl to 36,015 ft asl in 14 minutes, covering 82 nm, beginning 1 mile south-east of Barajas de Madrid.

Cruise level at 36,000 ft asl was held for 77 minutes, covering 563 nm, beginning 3 miles south-east of LECA La Nava - Corral De Ayllón Airfield.

Descent from 36,001 ft asl to 3,041 ft asl took 22 minutes over 129 nm, beginning 1 mile north-west of Bonneuil-les-Eaux, with a brief level-off at 9,900 ft asl.

A level segment at 3,000 ft asl lasted 6 minutes, covering 19 nm, beginning 1 mile south-west of Ranst.

The final descent from 2,917 ft asl to 1,952 ft asl was completed in under a minute over 1 nm, beginning 1 mile east of Elewijt.

Final approach to runway 19 at EBBR began at 1,808 ft agl and descended to 35 ft agl in 53 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, centreline, speed and wings level; the glideslope check was not met.

Landing on runway 19 used a threshold speed of 149 kt. The flare was described as very poor, with the aircraft ballooning in the flare. Touchdown occurred well beyond the threshold, using more than 50 % of the 2,766 m runway; touchdown speed was 132 kt and the vertical rate was -177 fpm. The touchdown point was 5.9 m off the centreline. One bounce occurred on touchdown.

Total landing distance was 2,128 m (77 % of runway). Rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 9.2 m. Local weather was 17 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 2 kt crosswind and no headwind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 2 nm in 11 minutes.

The flight covered 802 nm in 140 minutes and consumed 7,272 kg of fuel.
