The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 747-8, then departed from runway 32 at RJFU Nagasaki Airport. The takeoff distance was 811 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead RJFU Nagasaki Airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 750 feet above sea level to 15,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,261 feet in just 6 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 39 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 43 nautical miles. This phase began 6 miles northeast of RJDA Amakusa Airport. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 10 miles west of RJFK Kagoshima Airport. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 14,993 feet above sea level to 1,505 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,489 feet in 12 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 55 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 26L at RJFY JMSDF Kanoya Air Base was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 260 degrees at an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 26L, which had a length of 2,245 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 153 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 412 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 144 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -199 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 295 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.

The total landing distance was 989 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 146 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 35 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,526 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 26L at RJFY JMSDF Kanoya Air Base in the Boeing 747-8

Landing Score 95.43 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed at RJFY JMSDF Kanoya Air Base, with a final approach score of 95.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 260.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 26L, which has a length of 2,245 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 153 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's high approach speed, which can be influenced by factors such as wind and air density.

The touchdown distance was good, measuring 412 meters, which is within the acceptable range for a landing of this type. However, the touchdown speed was reported as fast, at 144 knots. This may have resulted in a higher touchdown rate, which was still reported as good, at -199 feet per minute (fpm). A good touchdown rate is essential to prevent damage to the aircraft and ensure a safe landing.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 8.9 meters. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's control inputs during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots from 295°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots.

The total landing distance was 989 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 8.7 meters. This may have been due to the aircraft's deceleration or the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance and without any reported issues. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, including a high threshold speed and a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position and rollout alignment.
