Departure
Arrival
A Boeing 747-8 aircraft began its enroute climb from a location 1 mile south of Erlensee in Hessen, Germany. The climb started at an altitude of 3,975 feet above sea level and gradually increased to 3,995 feet, a rise of 20 feet over a period of 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it initiated an enroute descent from a location 1 mile north of Obertshausen in Hessen, Germany. The descent began at an altitude of 3,850 feet above sea level and decreased to 1,635 feet, a drop of 2,215 feet over a period of 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), approaching from the east at a heading of 249.0 degrees and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level, the aircraft was in a good position for landing.
The landing on runway 25L, which has a length of 3,984 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots. However, the touchdown point was 289 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was fair at -273 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 298 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,536 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft took 13 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 1,002 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25L, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach speed and threshold height were both satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 138 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 289 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the expected area. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable rate of descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a moderate wind of 12 knots at 298°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,536 meters was 39% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that affected the initial touchdown position.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown. The pilots' skills and experience were likely sufficient to handle the situation, but there may be opportunities for improvement in terms of maintaining a more stable rate of descent and aligning the aircraft with the centerline during rollout.
