See Arrival Taxi

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 160 kt, on the 159 kt target, and lifted off at 168 kt 2.3 s later, the nose coming up at 1.4° a second. Climb 3 averaged 193 kt, 18 kt over its 175 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 884 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,471 m of runway left; gear up at 416 ft, 16 ft past the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,130 fpm on average to 884 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 3,623 m runway.

Rolled from 171 m in, drifted 6.4 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 47 % 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

When the approach was stable

Not every check held at once from 0.5 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.

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 10× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 0.5 nm, then drifted 15 m right between 0.5 and 0.2 nm, then inside the band from 0.2 nm to the threshold.

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 all the way, between −5 kt and +9 kt on the approach speed of 136 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 crosswind

4 kt across from the right, which takes about 2° of crab to hold the centreline at 135 kt. Touched down with the nose 4° into wind, wings level.

Wind 201° at 6 kt · 2 kt tail · 4 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 138 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 36 s, an average deceleration of 0.16 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 1,639 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 24 ft, 1 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 24 ft, 26 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 426 m in, 121 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 1,639 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.

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 A350-900 taxied from the parking area for 7 minutes, covering 1 nm, and entered the departure roll on runway 34R at KSEA Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Takeoff was achieved after a distance of 1,713 m (47 % of the runway) with rotation at 160 kt. Local weather was 16 °C, wind 4 kt from 020° (crosswind 1 kt, headwind 4 kt).

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 22 seconds, averaging 2,076 fpm and reaching 198 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 1,367 ft asl to 34,997 ft asl in 30 minutes, covering 220 nm, beginning 1 mile south-west of Riverton.

Cruise continued level at 35,000 ft asl for 207 minutes, covering 1,951 nm, starting overhead 11WA Homeport Airport Cheney. A subsequent climb from 35,001 ft asl to 38,697 ft asl lasted 7 minutes over 59 nm, beginning 77 miles south of CC1R Koroc River. Level flight at 39,000 ft asl continued for 246 minutes, covering 2,255 nm, starting 38 miles south-west of CC1N Napaktok Bay.

Descent began from 38,859 ft asl to 1,635 ft asl in 24 minutes, covering 136 nm, starting 4 miles north of Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes. The final approach to runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport descended from 1,336 ft agl to 46 ft agl in 98 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on glideslope, on centreline, on speed, wings level. Configuration on final was landing gear down at 4,584 ft agl, 166 kt; final flap position 4 at 4,501 ft agl, 166 kt.

Landing on runway 09L (runway length 2,710 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred at 426 m down the runway, speed 135 kt (a little fast), with a rate of -95 fpm (excellent). The touchdown point was misaligned by 9.7 m from the centreline. Local weather was 9 °C, wind 6 kt from 170° (crosswind 5 kt, headwind 1 kt). No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,558 m (57 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 9 minutes, covering 3 nm. The flight covered a total of 4,632 nm in 529 minutes and used 55,362 kg of fuel.
