The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at EDDR Saarbrücken Airport, where the Airbus A380 took off with a takeoff distance of 885 meters, which is 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 134 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 59 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 2,070 feet above sea level (asl) to 25,018 feet asl, an increase of 22,948 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The climb started overhead EDDR Saarbrücken Airport in Saarbrücken, Germany. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 25,081 feet asl to 18,673 feet asl, a decrease of 6,408 feet in 3 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles. This descent started overhead Geisfeld in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Landscheid in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 18,425 feet asl to 19,331 feet asl, an increase of 906 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. This climb started overhead Bitburg in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 19,294 feet asl to 18,701 feet asl, a decrease of 594 feet in 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile northwest of Holsthum in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Bastendorf in Vianden, Luxembourg, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 18,176 feet asl to 3,248 feet asl, a decrease of 14,928 feet in 5 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles.

The landing on runway 22L at EBLG Liège Airport was characterized by a runway length of 3,039 meters. The threshold height at 65 feet agl was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 165 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 360 meters, but the touchdown speed of 157 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -665 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 360 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 1,229 meters, which is 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment

Landing on runway 22L at EBLG Liège Airport in the Airbus A380

Landing Score 77.59 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A380 has successfully landed at EBLG Liège Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 209.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,634 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 22L, which has a length of 3,039 meters.

Upon landing, the threshold height was above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was significantly above the target at 165 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's fast touchdown speed of 157 knots. The touchdown rate was also heavy at -665 feet per minute, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.

One of the most notable issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-center by 20.9 meters. This could have been due to a variety of factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C and winds of 1 knot from 360°.

The total landing distance was 1,229 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it may have been influenced by the aircraft's fast touchdown speed and heavy touchdown rate. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.6 meters from the centerline, which could have made it more difficult for the pilots to control the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the Airbus A380 successfully landed at EBLG Liège Airport, there were several issues with the landing that need to be addressed. These include the high threshold speed, heavy touchdown rate, and significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position and runway rollout alignment.
