Next time

Departure

Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.

What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.

Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

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.
