Landing on runway 18 at KLIT Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field in the Boeing 747-8

Landing Score 83.65 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed at KLIT Bill & Hillary Clinton National Airport/Adams Field, but with some notable deviations from ideal landing parameters. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 171.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 789 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach score was 83.7%, indicating a good but not perfect landing.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 1,865 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 200 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 52 meters, but the touchdown speed of 199 knots was faster than ideal. The most concerning aspect of the landing was the very heavy touchdown rate of -1,453 feet per minute (fpm), which is significantly higher than the recommended rate.

Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 322°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 656 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it may have been influenced by the aircraft's speed and the misaligned touchdown position. During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial misaligned touchdown position.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and rate, and improving the alignment of the aircraft during the final approach and rollout.
