Next time

Arrival

Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 131 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 66 ft agl, 16 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 148 kt, 17 kt over the 131 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 461 m beyond the aim point.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 131 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Speed and pitch

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

Rotated at 150 kt, on the 149 kt target, and lifted off at 160 kt 3.6 s later, the nose coming up at 2.5° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 166 kt target, at 170 kt on average.

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 931 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 803 m of runway left; gear up at 76 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,410 fpm on average to 931 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 2,842 m runway.

Rolled from 70 m in, never more than 1.4 m off the centreline, in 11 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 57 % 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

Every check met from 4 nm to 1.1 nm, then not again: fast from 1.1 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 KDTW 21L

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 40 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 33 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 1.1 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +20 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 flare100.00

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. Crossing the threshold 17 kt above target, the aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 918 m past the threshold. The flare cannot burn off excess energy - fix the approach speed and the float goes with it.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 180° at 4 kt · 4 kt head · 2 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 124 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 30 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 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 2,147 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 65 ft, 15 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 26 ft. Touched down 918 m in, 613 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 2,147 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 500 fpm at the flare to 300 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.3° on the way down.

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.

Touched down 2.2 m right of the centreline, and stayed within 2.3 m of it down the rollout.

How to read this

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

The CRJ900 departed Savannah Hilton Head International Airport (KSAV) on runway 10. The take-off roll was 1,618 m, using 57 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 150 kt. Local weather was 24 °C with wind 14 kt from 029°, giving a 13 kt crosswind component and a 7 kt headwind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 20 seconds, averaging 2,146 fpm and reaching 170 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 1,036 ft asl to 35,966 ft asl in 23 minutes, covering 147 nm, beginning about 1 nm north-west of Garden City. Cruise was level at 36,000 ft asl for 53 minutes, covering 378 nm, starting about 1 nm north of Newberry County Airport (KEOE). Descent began from 36,002 ft asl to 1,965 ft asl in 29 minutes, covering 148 nm, starting 3 nm north-east of Hawk’s Nest Airport (OH42), with a brief level-off at 12,200 ft asl.

On final approach to runway 21L at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW), descent from 1,367 ft agl to 95 ft agl took 99 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was gear down at 2,484 ft agl at 182 kt; final flap position 5 was selected at 1,818 ft agl at 165 kt.

Landing on runway 21L (runway length 3,047 m) had a threshold height of 66 ft agl, which was above target, and a threshold speed of 148 kt, also above target. The flare was described as excellent; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 490 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 127 kt, with a rate of -300 fpm and very good alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 2,057 m, 68 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at the airport was 14 °C with wind 4 kt from 180°, giving a 2 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind component.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The flight covered a total of 682 nm in 114 minutes and used 3,299 kg of fuel.
