Landing on runway 19 at ZBAA Beijing Capital International Airport in the Airbus A350-900

Landing Score 98.76 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 established a final approach to runway 19 at ZBAA Beijing Capital International Airport from the north, tracking a heading of 173.0° at 4 nm and 1,322 ft agl. Local conditions were a temperature of 31 °C with wind 9 kt from 160°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind. The approach featured a good threshold height.

At threshold the aircraft’s speed was slightly above target at 138 kt. The flare commenced from the established height and maintained the slightly elevated speed through the transition.

Touchdown occurred 272 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 139 kt that was fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was fair at minus 284 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,181 m, representing 31 % of the 3,797 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

With a final score of 98.8 % the landing was overall excellent; reducing the touchdown speed to the target value and refining the flare to achieve a shallower descent rate will tighten the remaining margins.
