Next time

Departure

Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 111 kt, not after it.

What happened: You started the rotation at 128 kt, 17 kt past the 111 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 111 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Close the throttles further on final so you cross the threshold at 98 kt, removing the excess energy before the flare.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 113 kt, 15 kt above the 98 kt target, and the flare was not begun until 1.5 ft, well inside the normal flare band. Carrying excess speed that late into the approach usually leaves the flare started late and the touchdown arriving firm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 98 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival 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 128 kt, 17 kt above the 111 kt target, and lifted off at 135 kt 0.8 s later, the nose coming up at 5.1° a second. Climb 3 averaged 202 kt, 6 kt over its 196 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 958 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 4,172 ft of runway left; gear up at 47 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,990 fpm on average to 958 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.

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.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: fast all the way.

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 KDFW 17C

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 420 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, 1,000 ft 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 14× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 90 ft 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 25 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 15 at 500 ft and 10 at 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 flare38.35

The flare strayed well off the target profile. Crossing the threshold 15 kt above target, the flare began at 2 ft agl above the runway, lower than this aircraft wants. Touchdown was 2,871 ft past the threshold. Begin raising the nose earlier - a late flare leaves no time to arrest the sink.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 0 kt head · 0 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 94 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 18 s, an average deceleration of 0.18 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 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 71 ft, 21 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 2 ft. Touched down 2,871 ft in, 1,871 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

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 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft 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 stayed between 380 fpm and 400 fpm from the flare to the runway. 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

The Cessna Citation CJ4 taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at KFOE for 14 minutes, covering 3 nm, and departed on runway 21. Takeoff required 2,002 ft, which was 29 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 128 kt. The local weather at departure was 60 °F with wind 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 26 seconds, averaging 1,838 fpm and reaching 198 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 2,050 ft asl to 20,010 ft asl in 8 minutes, covering 40 nm, beginning the climb about 1 mile southwest of KFOE. Level cruise was flown at 20,000 ft asl for 38 minutes, covering 258 nm, starting roughly 2 miles northeast of 4KS6 Thomsen Field.

Descent began from 20,009 ft asl to 2,267 ft asl in 12 minutes, covering 64 nm, with the descent start about 4 miles southwest of Oakland. The final approach to runway 17C at KDFW descended from 1,730 ft agl to 83 ft agl in 106 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, and wings level; speed was not met. Gear was down at 1,846 ft agl at 166 kt, and the final flap position 2 was selected at 612 ft agl at 130 kt.

Landing on runway 17C, which is 13,408 ft long, occurred with a threshold height of 72 ft agl and a threshold speed of 113 kt, both well above target. The flare was described as great, though the pitch was pumped up and down. Touchdown was 1,467 ft beyond the touchdown zone, at 93 kt, with a firm rate of minus 380 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 35 ft from the centreline, but there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 4,021 ft, 30 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 59 °F with wind 1 kt from 270°, giving a 0 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 371 nm in 68 minutes and used 2,867 lb of fuel.
