Next time

Arrival

Hold the back pressure smoothly through the moment of touchdown and let the mainwheels settle without relaxing or adding a second pitch input.

What happened: The approach and flare both stayed within limits, yet the aircraft bounced at touchdown.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuous sink through to touchdown with no second pitch input.

See Arrival Touchdown

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Rotated at 140 kt, on the 142 kt target, and lifted off at 150 kt 2.7 s later, the nose coming up at 3.5° a second. Climb 3 averaged 164 kt, 15 kt under its 179 kt target.

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 figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Reached 35 ft with 5,241 ft of runway left; gear up at 63 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,580 fpm on average to 914 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 gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

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 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.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then not again: low from 0.3 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.

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

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.3 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 60 ft under).

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, 1,000 ft 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 33 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +1 kt and +8 kt on the approach speed of 133 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.

The flare98.67

Excellent landing flare. It lost 1.3 points, for the nose going up and down 2 times.

The crosswind

3 kt across from the left, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 120 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, wings level.

Wind 280° at 9 kt · 8 kt head · 3 kt across

How to read this

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.

Began the flare at 35 ft, 693 ft before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 9 ft, 41 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,661 ft in, 661 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.

The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 09 at LBSF Sofia Airport, achieving a takeoff distance of 4,518 ft (42 % of the runway) and a liftoff speed of 150 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 71 °F, wind 9 kt from 280°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt tailwind.

Climb began 1 mile east of LBSF, with the airplane ascending from 2,807 ft asl to 37,992 ft asl, an increase of 35,185 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 171 nm.

The first level cruise segment started 8 miles north-west of Smederevska Palanka and lasted 92 minutes, during which 690 nm were flown.

Descent commenced 1 mile north-east of Noerdange, descending from 38,003 ft asl to 3,990 ft asl, a loss of 34,012 ft in 25 minutes over 136 nm.

A brief cruise over Maignelay-Montigny followed, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.

The next descent segment started over Valescourt, dropping from 4,002 ft asl to 1,864 ft asl, a decrease of 2,138 ft in 3 minutes while traveling 10 nm.

A subsequent cruise over Thury-sous-Clermont lasted 3 minutes and spanned 6 nm.

During the final approach to runway 30 at LFOB Paris-Beauvais Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,300 ft agl to 27 ft agl in 112 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 30 was executed on a runway 7,952 ft long; the threshold speed was 134 kt. Touchdown occurred 801 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 120 kt with a touchdown rate of minus 174 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 72 °F, wind 9 kt from 280°, a 3 kt crosswind and an 8 kt headwind. The total landing distance measured 3,634 ft (46 % of the runway).

Runway rollout alignment was perfect.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 1,026 nm, took 163 minutes, and consumed 14,429 lbs of fuel.
