What went well

Touchdown 15 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 4.42 m off the centreline, no bounce
Rollout controlled — 35 % of the runway used

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -542 fpm at 29 %, g force 1.06 to 1.53 g at 84 %, −1.05 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 71 %, −0.64 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 6.46 m left at 88 %, −0.17 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.5 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power on final to cross the threshold at 151 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 10 kt below the 151 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 1.8° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 151 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

Departing from KBED Laurence G Hanscom Field, the Boeing 747-8 began its journey with a taxiing period of 21 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 29, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 173 knots after a takeoff distance of 1,409 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 269°, resulting in a 20-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind.

As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Concord, Massachusetts, and continued to ascend to 32,972 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,826 feet in 13 minutes, covering 123 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 14 minutes and covering 547 nautical miles, before initiating another climb 23 miles west of Saint-Pierre, Saint Pierre and Miquelon. This climb phase saw the aircraft ascend to 35,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,012 feet in 3 minutes, covering 141 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with the final level cruise phase lasting 22 minutes and covering 577 nautical miles.

As the aircraft began its descent 1 mile south of Lit-et-Mixe, France, it started its final approach to runway 14R at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport from the northwest, heading 143.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,216 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below target at 141 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 16 meters. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 141 knots, with a touchdown rate of -658 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,263 meters, accounting for 36% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After taxiing to the parking from the runway, the aircraft completed its journey, having covered a total distance of 3,095 nautical miles and consuming 31,317 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Score 90.8 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 747-8 touched down on runway 14R at LFBO Toulouse-Blagnac Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 141 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 16 m was satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 141 kt was also good, suggesting a controlled descent.

However, the touchdown rate of -658 fpm was heavy, indicating a steeper-than-desired descent. This may have been a result of the pilot's attempt to maintain a high speed on short final, or a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight drift or a momentary loss of control.

Despite the heavy touchdown rate, the total landing distance of 1,263 m was 36% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 92.4%. The good threshold height, touchdown distance, and rollout alignment were notable highlights, while the heavy touchdown rate and slight misalignment of the touchdown position were areas for improvement.
