The Airbus A350-900 took off from runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport, with a takeoff distance of 700 meters, which was 18% of the total runway length. Upon liftoff, the aircraft reached a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were quite chilly, with a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a gentle breeze of 3 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was slightly stronger at 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, a small town in the state of Hessen, Germany. The climb was steep, with the aircraft increasing its altitude from 1,331 feet above sea level to 2,922 feet in just 1 minute, covering 3 nautical miles during that time. This marked the end of the enroute climb, and the aircraft then leveled out for a brief period of 2 minutes, cruising at a steady altitude and covering another 3 nautical miles.

After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 18 at Frankfurt Airport, coming in from the north and heading 182.0 degrees. At an altitude of 777 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway, the aircraft was ready to land. However, the touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired, reaching 146 knots, and the aircraft touched down 645 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 133 knots.

The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -51 feet per minute, a testament to the aircraft's stability and control during the landing phase. However, there was some misalignment during the landing, with the runway touchdown position being slightly off-center by 4.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a gentle breeze of 7 knots at 241 degrees.

Despite the slight misalignment, the aircraft's rollout alignment was also off-center by 8.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,959 meters, which was 49% of the runway's length. The flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 11 nautical miles and consuming 742 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 18 at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) following a final approach from the north at a heading of 182.0°. The aircraft was at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 777 feet above ground level (agl) at the commencement of the final approach. The landing was executed with a runway length of 3,968 meters, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down.

However, the threshold height was reported as being within acceptable limits. The threshold speed, however, was noted to be higher than desired at 146 knots. This may have been due to factors such as the aircraft's speed being too high during the final approach, or the pilots possibly not fully utilizing the thrust reversers to slow the aircraft down. Despite this, the touchdown point was recorded at 645 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly longer landing.

The touchdown speed of 133 knots was also noted to be faster than desired. It is crucial for pilots to carefully manage the aircraft's speed during final approach and landing to avoid excessive wear and tear on the aircraft. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was recorded at an excellent -51 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The aircraft's position on the runway during touchdown was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.1 meters. This may be attributed to factors such as crosswind, pilot error, or the aircraft's directional control system not functioning correctly. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, and a wind speed of 7 knots from 241°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was a relatively minor 3 knots.

The total landing distance was recorded at 1,959 meters, which is approximately 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been traveling at a higher speed than desired during the final approach. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centreline, which may be attributed to factors such as the pilot's difficulty in controlling the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.
