Landing on runway 25R at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in the Airbus A350-900

Landing Score 86.26 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX) on runway 25R. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at 1 nautical mile and 346 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was evaluated based on several key parameters.

The final approach and landing were deemed satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was found to be too high at 146 knots, indicating that the pilots may have been able to reduce their speed before touchdown. The touchdown point was 2,214 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also slightly faster than ideal, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed.

Despite these minor issues, the touchdown rate was excellent at -78 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions would have required the pilots to make adjustments to their approach and landing technique to ensure a safe and stable touchdown.

The total landing distance was 5,939 feet, which is 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not uncommon for aircraft of this size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there were some minor issues that could be addressed to improve the performance of the aircraft. The pilots demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft, but there is room for improvement in terms of speed management and alignment during the final approach and touchdown.
