What went well

Rollout held the centreline in a 18 kn crosswind — 4.45 m off at taxi speed
Flare on profile — 97 %
1.22 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 500 ft gate 57 %, −3.57 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 109 ft agl was excessively over target at 0 %, Threshold speed was excessively high at 175 kt at 46 %, −3.45 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 1,156 m at 0 %, Runway alignment max 13.15 m left at 75 %, −2.01 points

Next time

Arrival

Be established on the glideslope by the gate, and take the power back earlier on final so the height and the speed come back together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.

What happened: The approach was off the glideslope at the gate, and the aircraft then crossed the threshold at 109 ft agl, 59 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 174 kt, 40 kt over the 134 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 699 m beyond the aim point.

Watch for: Glideslope indication at the gate, then airspeed: 134 kt on short final

See Arrival ApproachArrival 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 142 kt, 7 kt below the 149 kt target, and lifted off at 155 kt 4.5 s later, the nose coming up at 1.2° a second. Climb 3 averaged 156 kt, 14 kt under its 170 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 988 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 492 m of runway left; gear up at 365 ft, inside the 599 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 2,260 fpm on average to 988 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 2,338 m runway.

Rolled from the start of the runway, drifted left of the centreline, 4.6 m at the widest, and lifted off 4.3 m left, in 6 kn of crosswind from the right. Airborne 63 % 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: seven 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.

At the 500 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed, glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3° and speed more than 20 kt above the approach speed of 134 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: high all the way, sinking too fast from 2.2 nm, fast from 1.8 nm and left of the centreline from 1.4 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 EGLL 09L

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 3.6 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to 1,400 ft over).

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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 7× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 3.6 nm, where the final began, to 1.4 nm, then 53 m left of it from 1.4 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 from 3.6 nm, where the final began, to 1.8 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +50 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 flare97.12

The flare tracked the target profile closely. Crossing the threshold 41 kt above target, the aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 1,156 m past the threshold. The flare cannot burn off excess energy - fix the approach speed and the float goes with it.

The crosswind

18 kt across from the right, which takes about 7° of crab to hold the centreline at 152 kt. Touched down with 6° of it still on, 3° of bank.

Wind 189° at 19 kt · 3 kt tail · 18 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 155 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 21 s, an average deceleration of 0.31 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 2,134 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 108 ft, 58 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 34 ft. Touched down 1,156 m in, 852 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 2,134 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 660 fpm at the flare to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.3° 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.

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 Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 06 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport in 8 minutes, covering 2 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 06. The aircraft used 1,482 m of runway (63 % of the available length) and rotated at 142 kt. Local weather was 13 °C with wind 9 kt from 109°, giving a 7 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 23 seconds, averaging 1,926 fpm and reaching 156 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,142 ft asl to 32,973 ft asl in 14 minutes, covering 85 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-east of EGPH.

Cruise was level at 33,000 ft asl for 16 minutes, covering 125 nm, starting roughly 5 miles west of Locharbriggs.

Descent began from 33,006 ft asl to 2,012 ft asl in 28 minutes, covering 154 nm, starting about 1 mile south-west of Holmes Chapel.

Final approach to runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport started from 2,138 ft agl and descended to 251 ft agl in 42 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were: gear down - met; landing flap - met; on centreline - met; wings level - met. The checks not met were sink rate, glideslope, and speed.

Landing on runway 09L (runway length 3,602 m) had a threshold height of 109 ft agl, which was excessively over target, and a threshold speed of 175 kt, also excessively high. The flare was described as very good, though it started early. Touchdown occurred 747 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 152 kt, which was fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was -218 fpm (fair). The touchdown point was misaligned by 13.1 m from the centreline. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 1,953 m, representing 54 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.

Local weather at landing was 14 °C with wind 18 kt from 190°, giving an 18 kt crosswind and a 3 kt tailwind. The total flight covered 372 nm in 66 minutes and consumed 2,235 kg of fuel.
