Landing on runway 07R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in the Boeing 747-8

Landing Score 77.47 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 07R, but the landing was not without some issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a speed of 148 knots, which was slightly above the target speed.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,038 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate was very hard at -530 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a high rate of descent, which can be a concern for the safety of the passengers and crew.

The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. There was no significant crosswind or tailwind component, which made the landing conditions relatively straightforward.

The total landing distance of 2,575 meters was 65% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slowed down more quickly than expected, which could be due to the hard touchdown or the misaligned runway touchdown position. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the high landing distance.

Overall, while the Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport, there were some issues with the touchdown and rollout alignment. These issues may have been caused by a combination of factors, including the hard touchdown, misaligned runway touchdown position, and high landing distance.
