Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 175 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 46 kt fast at 221 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 175 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

What happened: The flare began late at 0.9 ft, 10 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A350-900 departed from Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, taxiing from the parking to the runway took 10 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The departure roll from runway 16R commenced at 172 kt, with a takeoff distance of 1,338 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off with a local wind of 3 kt at 210°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 227 nautical miles in 32 minutes, increasing its altitude from 1,146 ft to 39,002 ft. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 155 minutes, covering 1,347 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 39,005 ft to 11,038 ft in 14 minutes, covering 108 nautical miles. This descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, as the aircraft flew 9 nautical miles south west of NFCS Castaway Island Seaplane Base. The final descent phase commenced 23 miles south west of the seaplane base, with the aircraft reducing its altitude from 10,662 ft to 3,158 ft in 5 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles.

The Airbus A350-900 landed on runway 02 at Nadi International Airport, with a touchdown distance of 414 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 143 kt was fast, and the touchdown rate of -690 fpm was heavy. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 18.2 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,078 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,734 nautical miles, taking 226 minutes, and the aircraft used 20,843 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 70.09 %
Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 02 at Nadi International Airport was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft heading 37.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 69 feet above ground level, which was above the target. However, the threshold speed of 148 knots was significantly higher than the target, indicating a potential for a long rollout.

The aircraft touched down at a distance of 414 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate of -690 feet per minute was heavy, indicating a potential for a bumpy ride. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 18.2 meters from the centreline, which could have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate. The total landing distance of 1,078 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range.

During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained misaligned from the centreline, with a deviation of 25.7 meters. This misalignment could have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-centre. Despite the challenges, the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance. Overall, the landing performance scored 76.3%, indicating a satisfactory but not exceptional performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24°C and a light headwind, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
