Departure

On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 5.4 m.

What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 5.4 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.

Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 102 ft.

What happened: The flare began at 102 ft, 57 ft earlier than the normal band.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band

See Arrival Landing

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,415 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots at 320°. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the airport and ascending to a height of 32,998 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 266 nautical miles and took 18 minutes to complete.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 31 minutes and covered a distance of 1,107 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from a height of 33,001 feet to 35,001 feet, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles in just 3 minutes. The level cruise phase that followed lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 1,337 nautical miles.

The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with subsequent climb phases taking place at various points along the route. These climbs were followed by level cruise phases, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and speed. The final climb phase took place before the descent into Johannesburg, South Africa.

The descent from 39,002 feet to 6,817 feet took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03R at O.R. Tambo International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 16.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 03R was successful, with the touchdown point being 63 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -381 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.4 meters.

The total landing distance was 1,439 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 7,338 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 254 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 91,283 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
