This flight commenced with an Airbus A340 aircraft, departing from a point 2 miles north of Holsbeek in Flanders, Belgium. Initially, the aircraft was climbing at an altitude of 2,915 feet above sea level, with a significant ascent recorded of 1,471 feet in a mere 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
Once airborne, the aircraft proceeded with a final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport (EBBR). As the aircraft aligned itself with the runway from the east, a heading of 251.0 degrees was maintained at a distance of 4 nautical miles, with an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway 25L, which is approximately 3,082 meters in length, was deemed successful. Despite the threshold speed being a little below the target at 127 knots, the touchdown distance of 356 meters and speed of 126 knots were both satisfactory. However, the descent rate was quite steep at -406 feet per minute.
Other factors influencing the landing were the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 181 degrees. The aircraft experienced a headwind of 3 knots, but a crosswind of 8 knots was noted. The runway touchdown position exhibited a slight misalignment by 5.1 meters relative to the runway centerline.
Following the successful landing, the aircraft transitioned to taxiing, which took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile on route to its designated parking spot.
The flight, in totality, covered a distance of 11 nautical miles, utilizing 8 minutes of flight time and 464 kilograms of fuel.

The Airbus A340 successfully landed on runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,082 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 127 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 356 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was hard at -406 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 10°C, a wind speed of 8 knots from 181°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 965 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision.
