Landing on runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport in the A400M

Landing Score 89.49 %

Landing Summary

The A400M aircraft successfully landed on runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, achieving a score of 89.5%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 47.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,023 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a distance of 1,138 feet, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 152 knots was slightly too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the approach. The touchdown rate of -485 feet per minute (fpm) was also considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight jolt upon touchdown.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 158 knots. This may indicate that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 244°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 2 knots.

The total landing distance of 4,020 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained good control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to touchdown speed and rate.
