Flight narrative

The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A380 aircraft, departing from Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 16R. The takeoff roll was 2,232 meters long, covering 57% of the runway, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 171 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 129 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.

After departing from Sydney, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting from an altitude of 1,005 feet above sea level and increasing to 33,871 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 159 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 558 minutes and covered a distance of 4,955 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 34,408 feet to 39,862 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.

The aircraft continued its journey, making several more level cruises and climbs, with notable stops including the vicinity of Bahia de Kino in Mexico and Eastland in Texas, United States. The final descent began 5 miles southwest of Eastland, with the aircraft descending from 41,186 feet to 1,881 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18R at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (KDFW), flying from the north at a heading of 180 degrees. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 23 knots from a direction of 330 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 12 knots and a tailwind of 20 knots.

The aircraft landed on runway 18R, with a touchdown distance of 407 meters and a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,920 meters, covering 47% of the runway.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 11 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 7,555 nautical miles, taking 871 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 179,821 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 18R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in the Airbus A380-800
Landing Score 93.25 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A380 successfully landed at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport on runway 18R, achieving a score of 93.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 4,095 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots. This may indicate a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance was good at 407 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the threshold.

However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -305 feet per minute (fpm). A firm touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate that the aircraft is touching down with too much energy, which can lead to a longer rollout distance and increased wear on the landing gear.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and winds of 23 knots at 330°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the tailwind component was 20 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,920 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance from the threshold. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's rollout path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the optimal landing performance. The aircraft's score of 93.2% indicates that it was able to execute a safe and efficient landing, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
