Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A380, then departed from runway 09R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in Paris, France. The takeoff distance was 1,371 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 100°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,346 feet above sea level to 23,390 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,044 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began overhead Labruyere, France, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 15 miles west of Equihen-Plage, France, and descended from 23,732 feet above sea level to 7,402 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,330 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise resumed overhead EG86 Rushett Farm Chessington, England, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The enroute descent began overhead Crowthorne, England, and the aircraft descended from 6,644 feet above sea level to 1,307 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,336 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 09L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,202 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09L, which had a length of 3,591 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 182 knots.

The touchdown point was 824 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 144 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,301 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 160°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,228 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 217 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 60 minutes. The aircraft used 8,830 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Airbus A380
Landing Score 80.83 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A380 has successfully landed at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,202 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09L, which has a length of 3,591 meters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 182 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or that the pilots may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown. The touchdown point was 824 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly long on the landing.

The touchdown speed of 144 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -1,301 feet per minute was very heavy. This indicates that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent, which could be due to a variety of factors including the aircraft's weight, the air density, and the pilots' control inputs. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which could be due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or a malfunctioning autopilot system.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilots were able to maintain a relatively good alignment during the rollout, with the runway rollout alignment being very good.

The total landing distance of 2,228 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent or that the pilots may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilots were able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground, and the aircraft's systems performed well during the landing.
