What went well

Touchdown 453 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 51 ft and 119 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.45 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −0.95 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -219 fpm at 87 %, −0.17 points
Departure Roll — Rotation speed was 106 kt at 94 %, −0.11 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 120 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 106 kt, 14 kt before the 120 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 120 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.

What happened: The touchdown rate was 218 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.

Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 218 fpm next time

See Arrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 106 kt, 14 kt below the 120 kt target, and lifted off at 134 kt 11.6 s later, the nose coming up at 0.6° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 158 kt target, at 153 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 893 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 894 m of runway left; gear up at 81 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,520 fpm on average to 893 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 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 0.2 nm, about 130 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the speed.

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.

Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 70 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 28× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 13 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 29 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 17 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 4 nm to 1.2 nm (up to +68 kt), then inside the band to 0.8 nm, then fast to 0.2 nm (up to +14 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.

Perfect landing flare

The crosswind

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

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.

The stop

From 113 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 39 s, an average deceleration of 0.11 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 51 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 23 ft. Touched down 453 m in, 148 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 650 fpm at the flare to 220 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

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.

Flight narrative

Departing Missoula International Airport (KMSO), the RJ85 aircraft began its journey, taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 12, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 134 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,713 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway, was achieved in a smooth and controlled manner.

As the aircraft climbed away from KMSO, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 29,732 feet above sea level in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching a maximum rate of climb. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 29,732 feet for 23 minutes as it covered 149 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a series of descents, with the aircraft reducing its altitude to 12,007 feet above sea level in 12 minutes, covering 76 nautical miles. The final descent phase saw the aircraft touch down on runway 16R at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA), with a touchdown distance of 455 meters, which was 41% of the runway length.

The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed, with a touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 404 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 80 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,881 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
