What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Speed at touchdown 65 kt at 25 %, Touchdown rate was -162 fpm at 85 %, −2.09 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was excessively high at 75 kt at 34 %, Runway alignment max 11.01 m left at 88 %, −1.98 points
Departure Roll — Rotation speed was 69 kt at 38 %, Runway alignment max 9.32 m left at 83 %, −1.78 points

Next time

Departure

Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 50 kt, not after it.

What happened: You started the rotation at 69 kt, 19 kt past the 50 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 50 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 54 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 75 kt, well above the 54 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 54 kt on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 69 kt, 19 kt above the 50 kt target, and lifted off at 75 kt 0.9 s later, the nose coming up at 3.8° a second.

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.

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 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 final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 0.6 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 250 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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

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 27 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 16 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 0.6 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +51 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 crosswind

8 kt across from the right, which takes about 7° of crab to hold the centreline at 65 kt. Touched down with the nose 3° left of the track, away from the wind, wings level.

Wind 098° at 9 kt · 1 kt tail · 8 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 67 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 9 s, an average deceleration of 0.25 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.

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 1,293 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.

Flight narrative

The aircraft departed from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. Take-off distance was 307 m, 24 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 69 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 11 °C, wind 7 kt from 099°, crosswind 7 kt, tailwind 1 kt.

Initial climb to 400 ft agl took 41 seconds, averaging 581 fpm and reaching 145 kt at the top of the climb. The flight then levelled at 1 000 ft asl for about 2 minutes, covering 4 nm and passing overhead Reichelsheim. Descent began from 1 207 ft asl to 538 ft asl over 2 minutes, covering 3 nm and starting 1 mile west of Florstadt.

Final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield descended from 449 ft agl to 65 ft agl in 18 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, and glideslope; they were not met for sink rate, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration on final was landing gear down at 693 ft agl with 130 kt, and final flap position 1 at 349 ft agl with 102 kt.

Landing on runway 36 was made with a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 75 kt, noted as excessively high. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred at 65 kt, considered too fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 162 fpm. Touchdown distance was 151 m, and the touchdown point was 4.9 m off the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 355 m, 27 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

Local weather at landing was temperature 11 °C, wind 9 kt from 098°, crosswind 9 kt, tailwind 2 kt. The total flight covered 9 nm in 4 minutes and used 1 kg of fuel.
