Landing on runway 34L at RJAA Narita International Airport in the Airbus A380

Landing Score 98.62 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A380 has successfully landed at RJAA Narita International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 329.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,155 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.

Upon landing on runway 34L, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 132 knots, which may be attributed to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a safe margin. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown distance of 296 meters was within acceptable limits, showcasing the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.

The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a safe stop within a reasonable distance. The touchdown rate of -312 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with minimal bounce or oscillation. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and controlled approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 303°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal, contributing to a smooth and stable approach. The total landing distance of 1,594 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a safe stop without any deviations from the centerline.

Overall, the Airbus A380's landing at RJAA Narita International Airport was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's expertise. The high score of 98.6% reflects the precision and control demonstrated throughout the approach and landing phases, making this a successful and safe operation.
