Next time

Arrival

Pick a point at the far end of the runway and make small rudder corrections to track the centreline.

What happened: The aircraft drifted off the centreline on approach.

Watch for: Runway alignment against the centreline.

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.

Lifted off at 128 kt with 9.7° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 146 kt, 42 kt under its 188 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 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 897 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,644 m of runway left; gear up at 21 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,280 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.

Plan view the roll down the 4,020 m runway.

Rolled from 145 m in, drifted 4.5 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 28 % 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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

When the approach was stable

Not every check held at once 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.

The approach to HKNW 14

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 430 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.

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 30 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 18 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 3.3 nm, then slow to 3.0 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.

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 120 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 22 s, an average deceleration of 0.22 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 1,354 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 25 ft, 149 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 10 ft, 40 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 235 m in, 70 m short of 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 1,354 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 330 fpm at the flare to 190 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.9° 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 aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 19 at OMAL Al Ain International Airport in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 19, the Cessna Citation Longitude used a takeoff distance of 1,127 m, representing 28 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 129 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 46 °C, wind from 190° at 15 kt, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 15 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced overhead OMAL, with the aircraft ascending from 1,768 ft asl to 41,997 ft asl, an increase of 40,229 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 123 nm.

The first cruise segment began 22 mi north-east of OESB Shaibah Airport and continued for 637 minutes, during which 1,736 nm were flown.

Descent started 8 mi north of Kitui, with altitude decreasing from 42,006 ft asl to 7,512 ft asl, a loss of 34,494 ft in 9 minutes and a distance of 51 nm.

A second cruise phase originated 6 mi south-west of Kangundo, lasting 17 minutes and spanning 39 nm.

The subsequent descent began 4 mi south-east of Kikuyu, dropping from 7,463 ft asl to 5,920 ft asl, a reduction of 1,543 ft in 4 minutes over 5 nm.

Final approach to runway 14 at HKNW Nairobi Wilson Airport was conducted from the north-west, on a heading of 128.0°, at 1 nm and 402 ft agl.

Landing on runway 14, which is 1,354 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 117 kt. Touchdown was recorded 235 m down the runway at 109 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 434 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.1 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 601 m, equivalent to 44 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 1,960 nm, took 702, and used 22 kg of fuel.
