Landing on runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in the Airbus A380

Landing Score 97.28 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A380 has successfully landed at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 348.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 34L, which has a length of 3,885 meters.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 134 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was 457 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting that the aircraft was not descending at a very steep rate.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were warm, with a temperature of 29°C, and a moderate headwind of 10 knots from a direction of 330°. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, which was not a significant factor in the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,692 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may have been due to a combination of factors including the weather conditions and the pilot's technique.
