Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 235 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,938 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,938 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 521 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Tokyo Haneda International Airport served as the departure point for the flight, where the Airbus A380 began its taxi from the parking area to runway 22. The taxiing phase lasted 5 minutes and covered 1 nm before the aircraft rolled onto the runway. The takeoff roll measured 1,491 m, covering 60 % of the available runway length, and the aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 152 kt. Local weather conditions at departure were 30 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 180°, including a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 3 kt.
After departure, the aircraft entered a climb phase 1 mile southwest of Tokyo Haneda, ascending from 864 ft asl to 34,998 ft asl over 32 minutes while covering 197 nm. The climb continued with a brief segment at latitude 21.4371393, longitude 145.1055803, where the aircraft increased altitude by 1,283 ft in 2 minutes over 14 nm. A subsequent climb at latitude -4.8560346, longitude 158.0752504 raised the aircraft from 36,992 ft asl to 39,000 ft asl in 3 minutes across 30 nm. The flight then entered a descent phase 8 miles north of Rawene, New Zealand, descending from 39,005 ft asl to 1,309 ft asl over 24 minutes and covering 133 nm. The final approach to runway 05R at Auckland International Airport was conducted from the southwest, heading 71.0° at 4 nm and 1,281 ft AGL, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt and a touchdown rate of -258 fpm. The aircraft landed on runway 05R, covering 1,859 m, which represented 57 % of the runway length, and the touchdown alignment was described as very good.
The flight concluded with taxiing from the runway to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance amounted to 4,856 nm, with a flight time of 596 minutes and a fuel consumption of 114,401 kg. The overall operation demonstrated efficient use of runway and airspace, with all phases executed within the specified performance parameters.
The final approach to runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport was executed from the south west, maintaining a heading of 71.0° at 4 nm and 1,281 ft AGL. The aircraft approached with a threshold speed of 135 kt, and the threshold height was reported as good, indicating a clean and stable descent profile. The touchdown occurred 106 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt, slightly above the ideal, and a touchdown rate of –258 fpm, which was considered fair.
Upon contact, the aircraft’s alignment with the runway centreline was very good, and the touchdown alignment was described as perfect. The touchdown point and speed were within acceptable limits, and the aircraft maintained a stable attitude during the initial contact. The local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 6 °C, wind 0 kt at 360°, and no crosswind or headwind components, contributing to the smooth touchdown.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,859 m, which represents 57 % of the available runway length of 3,286 m. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the overall performance of the landing was rated at 98.8 %. The approach, touchdown, and rollout phases were executed with high precision, resulting in a successful and efficient landing.
