Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 3

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A340-600 aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 01 at Cape Town International Airport (FACT), with a takeoff distance of 1,951 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of Cape Town, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 34,998 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,097 feet asl. This climb phase covered a distance of 134 nautical miles and took 20 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, flying at an altitude of 34,998 feet asl, and covering a distance of 516 nautical miles over a period of 62 minutes.

The aircraft continued its journey, entering another enroute climb phase, this time from an altitude of 35,028 feet asl to 35,966 feet asl, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles in just 2 minutes. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying at an altitude of 35,966 feet asl, and covering a distance of 1,626 nautical miles over a period of 206 minutes.

The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, entering several more enroute climb phases, each time increasing its altitude and covering a significant distance. These climb phases were followed by level cruise phases, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a substantial distance.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting from an altitude of 39,681 feet asl and descending to 9,893 feet asl over a distance of 87 nautical miles in 12 minutes. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying at an altitude of 9,745 feet asl, and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles over a period of 3 minutes.

The final approach to runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 250.0° at an altitude of 1,327 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 144 knots and a touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance was 355 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance was 1,076 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 5,128 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 673 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 84,606 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
