What went well

Touched down at -216 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 28 ft and 131 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 4.08 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft, then landing lights off should be on; speed limits at 73 %, −0.89 points
Arrival Landing — GPWS warning; Flare profile at 65 %, −0.37 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 7.91 m right at 82 %, −0.33 points

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 4.8 m off the runway centreline.

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

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 7.2 ft.

What happened: The flare began late at 7.2 ft, below the normal band.

Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.

See Arrival Landing

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Lifted off at 170 kt with 4.6° of pitch.

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 figure at liftoff is the pitch then. 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 929 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,719 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,050 fpm on average to 929 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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Plan view the roll down the 3,766 m runway.

Rolled from 66 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 4.8 m at the widest, and lifted off 3.3 m left. Airborne 44 % 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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 2.4 nm, about 700 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 1,000 ft gate and before 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 approach to VHHH 07C

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 150 ft below 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 34 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 2.6 nm, then slow to 2.4 nm (up to −6 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 crosswind

3 kt across from the right, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 126 kt. Touched down with the nose 2° into wind, wings level.

Wind 100° at 7 kt · 6 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.

The stop

From 123 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 49 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 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 2,176 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 28 ft, 22 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 677 m in, 372 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 2,176 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 400 fpm at 40 ft to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.5° 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.

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

Departing from Beijing Daxing International Airport (ZBAD), the Airbus A300 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 17R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,667-meter stretch of the 3,452-meter runway, which accounted for 44% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 170 knots, taking advantage of the 5-knot headwind and minimal crosswind conditions.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into a steady ascent, reaching an altitude of 29,875 feet above sea level in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 28,794 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 1,333 minutes and covered a distance of 932 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a brief descent phase, which began 10 miles east of Shiqi, China, and lasted for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again, this time for a short period of 2 minutes, before commencing its final approach to runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH).

The final approach was conducted from the southwest, with the aircraft descending from 30,204 feet above sea level to 1,894 feet above sea level. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 126 knots, with a touchdown rate of -159 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 259 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,161 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 16,777 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted for 3 hours and 12 minutes.
