Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 649 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 596 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

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 143 kt, 6 kt below the 149 kt target, and lifted off at 153 kt 4.0 s later, the nose coming up at 1.4° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 170 kt target, at 175 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 945 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 499 m of runway left; gear up at 378 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,860 fpm on average to 945 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 2,308 m runway.

Rolled from 63 m in, drifted 3.4 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 62 % 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

One stabilised approach gate: five 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.

Five checks, one gate500 ft 60.003 of 5
Gear down
Landing flap
Sink rate2,350 fpm
On glideslope7.2°
On speed+8.4 kt

At the 500 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed and glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3°.

Still turning onto final at the lower gate, so the centreline and wings level are not asked there - the aeroplane was not lined up yet, and was banked because it was turning. The other checks are marked as usual.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.3 nm, about 140 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate.

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 LSZH 14

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.

High from 2.3 nm, where the final began, to 0.6 nm (up to 880 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

Fast from 2.3 nm, where the final began, to 2.0 nm (up to +50 kt), then inside the band to 1.1 nm, then fast to 0.3 nm (up to +22 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.

The flare90.52

The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare arrested the sink and then let it come back - 649 fpm of it - so the aircraft dropped the last few feet. Touchdown was 492 m past the threshold. Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established.

The crosswind

6 kt across from the left, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 126 kt. Touched down with 3° of it still on, wings level.

Wind 010° at 9 kt · 5 kt tail · 6 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 52 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare at 43 ft. Touched down 492 m in, 187 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 1,524 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 1,500 fpm at the flare to 600 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.5° 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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 08 at EGDY RNAS Yeovilton in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 08 with a distance of 1,440 m, which is 62 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 143 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 17 °C, wind 9 kt from 089°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind.

The initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 28 seconds, averaging 1,747 fpm and reaching 179 kt at the top of the segment.

Climb continued from 1,079 ft asl to 39,002 ft asl in 22 minutes, covering 143 nm, beginning overhead West Camel.

Level flight was held at 39,000 ft asl for 37 minutes, covering 282 nm, beginning overhead EGAO Chalksole Green Airstrip Dover.

Descent from 38,982 ft asl to 3,299 ft asl lasted 26 minutes and covered 149 nm, starting 1 mile south of Wingen-sur-Moder, with a brief level-off at 3,700 ft asl.

Final approach to runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport descended from 1,156 ft agl to 45 ft agl in 54 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were: gear down - met; landing flap - met; on speed - met; sink rate - not met; on glideslope - not met. Configuration on final was flap position 5 at 1,308 ft agl, speed 164 kt.

Landing on runway 14 (runway length 3,148 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 132 kt. The flare was described as very good; the aircraft dropped onto the runway at the end of the flare. Touchdown occurred 74 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 126 kt, which was good. Touchdown rate was very hard at minus 596 fpm. Runway alignment was perfect. Two bounces were observed after touchdown.

Local weather at landing was temperature 11 °C, wind 9 kt from 010°, with a 7 kt crosswind and a 5 kt tailwind.

The total flight covered 580 nm in 90 minutes and used 3,079 kg of fuel.
