Landing on runway 25C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport in the Airbus A350-900

Landing Score 84.59 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 25C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, a 3,452-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 251.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level. However, the threshold height at 85 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path.

The aircraft touched down 270 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 146 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -316 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 1 knot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind of 7 knots at 60°, may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 1,802 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 84.6%. However, there were some areas for improvement, including the threshold height and touchdown speed, which were above target.
