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 14 m off the runway centreline.

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

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.

What happened: Touchdown point came 138 m past the target, landing at 595 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 168 kt, 15 kt above the 153 kt target, and lifted off at 173 kt 2.9 s later, the nose coming up at 2.2° a second. Climb 3 averaged 176 kt, 8 kt over its 168 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 925 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 59 m of runway left; gear up at 60 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,370 fpm on average to 925 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.

Plan view the roll down the 3,962 m runway.

Rolled from 1,216 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 14 m at the widest, and lifted off 8.4 m right, in 5 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 87 % of the way down the runway, past 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 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 0.4 nm, then not again: low from 0.4 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 approach to EDDC 22

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

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

On the glideslope from 4 nm to 0.4 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, 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 45 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 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between −5 kt and +12 kt on the approach speed of 144 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 flare98.27

Excellent landing flare. It lost 1.7 points, for touching down 6.8° above the aircraft's ground attitude.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 206° at 10 kt · 10 kt head · 2 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.

The stop

From 124 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 21 s, an average deceleration of 0.24 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.

Began the flare at 33 ft, 154 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 24 ft, 26 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 595 m in, 291 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 440 fpm at the flare to 190 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.5° on the way down.

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

The Airbus A321-ceo departed from runway 18 at EDDF Frankfurt Airport. Take-off used 3,396 m, 86 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 168 kt. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 6 kt from 240°, giving a 6 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 21 seconds, averaging 2,004 fpm and reaching 172 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 1,325 ft asl to 23,009 ft asl in 12 minutes, covering 72 nm, beginning 2 mi west of Moerfelden-Walldorf.

Cruise was held at 23,000 ft asl for 10 minutes, covering 77 nm, starting 1 mi south-east of Schonungen.

Descent began from 22,997 ft asl to 2,043 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 99 nm, starting 1 mi south-east of Eichigt.

Final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport descended from 1,361 ft agl to 18 ft agl in 103 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,476 ft agl, 178 kt; final flap position 5 at 2,249 ft agl, 170 kt.

Landing on runway 22 (runway length 2,545 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 163 m beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 188 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.1 m from the centreline. Local weather was 10 °C with wind 8 kt from 220°, giving a headwind of 8 kt and no crosswind. No bounce occurred.

Total landing distance was 1,297 m, 51 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

The flight covered 256 nm in 45 minutes and used 2,326 kg of fuel.
