Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 21 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 143 kt, on the 145 kt target, and lifted off at 151 kt 5.9 s later, the nose coming up at 1.4° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 157 kt target, at 155 kt on average.

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 1,448 m of runway left; gear up at 571 ft, inside the 694 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,020 fpm on average to 897 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.

Rolled from 132 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 21 m at the widest, and lifted off 21 m right, in 12 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 49 % 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.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six 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 3.7 nm, about 1,250 ft above the runway, to the threshold, before the 1,000 ft gate, so through both gates. The last to settle was the gear.

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 approach to KIAD 01R

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 above the slope.

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.

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 3 m off the centreline.

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 34 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 −2 kt and +2 kt on the approach speed of 135 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 flare59.30

The flare strayed well off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 2.6° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 361 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The stop

From 132 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 38 s, an average deceleration of 0.14 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 45 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 21 ft. Touched down 361 m in, 56 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 620 fpm at the flare to 500 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.6° on the way down.

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.

Touched down 2.8 m left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 3.7 m left at the widest.

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.

Flight narrative

The B772 departed KDEN Denver International Airport on runway 17L. Take-off was performed at a rotation speed of 143 kt and used 1,813 m of runway, about 50 % of the available length. Local weather was 22 °C with a wind from 162° at 5 kt (crosswind 2 kt, headwind 5 kt).

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 24 seconds, averaging 2,054 fpm and reaching 159 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 6,257 ft asl to 39,002 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 147 nm while proceeding roughly 2 nm southeast of KDEN. Cruise at 39,000 ft asl was held for 119 minutes, covering 983 nm, beginning about 9 nm south of KIML Imperial Municipal Airport. Descent from 39,002 ft asl to 1,827 ft asl took 28 minutes over 157 nm, starting 7 nm northwest of Grant Town, with a brief level-off at 7,000 ft asl.

At KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport a go-around was executed on runway 01R at 0 ft agl. The subsequent final approach to runway 01R descended from 1,326 ft agl to 52 ft agl in 107 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. The landing gear was down at 1,250 ft agl at 134 kt; final flap position 6 was selected at 3,057 ft agl at 169 kt.

Landing on runway 01R, which is 3,504 m long, the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 136 kt. The flare was poor, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 46 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 134 kt, slightly fast, and the vertical rate was very hard at minus 502 fpm. The touchdown point was 3.7 m off the centreline. Local weather at landing was 12 °C with a wind from 125° at 1 kt (crosswind 0 kt, headwind 0 kt). No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,476 m, 42 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 1,357 nm in 221 minutes and used 21,336 kg of fuel.
