Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 794 m at 63 %, −0.78 points

Next time

Departure

Smooth and reduce pitch inputs during the climb so g force stays steady near 1.4 g.

What happened: During the second climb segment, g force varied through 1.4 g, outside the smooth target band.

Watch for: G meter in Climb 2, holding within the normal steady climb band.

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 122 kt well before the stabilisation gate.

What happened: This flight was fast at the stabilisation gate, then crossed the threshold high on a shallow descent and 21 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 337 m past the target point.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 122 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Rotated at 157 kt, and lifted off at 165 kt 1.3 s later, the nose coming up at 2.1° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 175 kt target, at 180 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 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.

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.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A350-900 departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Takeoff used 1,006 m (27 % of the runway) and rotation occurred at 157 kt. Local weather at departure was 19 °C with wind 10 kt from 221°, giving a 5 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 10 seconds, averaging 3,222 fpm and reaching 178 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 956 ft asl to 1,946 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 3 nm, remaining overhead Auckland.

Cruise was brief before descent began. The descent from 1,947 ft asl to 702 ft asl lasted 5 minutes and covered 16 nm, starting 3 miles south-west of NZAA.

On final approach to runway 23L, the aircraft descended from 977 ft agl to 103 ft agl in 76 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; the speed check was not met.

Landing was on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold height at 71 ft agl and the threshold speed of 144 kt were both well above target. The flare was described as perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 368 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 129 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 204 fpm, described as fair. The touchdown point was 5.8 m off the centreline but no bounce occurred. Local weather at landing was 16 °C with wind 10 kt from 219°, giving a 5 kt crosswind and an 8 kt headwind.

Total landing distance was 1,186 m (32 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was very good. The entire flight covered 24 nm in 8 minutes and consumed 1,464 kg of fuel.
