What held you back

Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 71 %, −1.43 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 10.72 m left at 75 %, −0.76 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was well above target at 136 kt at 78 %, −0.44 points

Next time

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 119 kt before the gate, not after it.

What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 136 kt against a target of 119 kt, 17 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 119 kt by the gate and held to 119 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival ApproachArrival Landing

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A350-900 departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Takeoff used 796 m of runway, 22 % of the available length, and rotation was achieved at 155 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 17 °C, wind 17 kt from 229°, giving a 6 kt cross-wind and a 16 kt head-wind.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 13 seconds, with an average climb rate of 3,258 fpm and a speed of 187 kt at the top of the segment. The aircraft then climbed from 992 ft asl to 1,528 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 4 nm, remaining overhead the Auckland area.

Level flight was maintained at approximately 1,500 ft asl for 4 minutes, covering 11 nm and beginning about 1 mile south of NZAA.

During final approach to runway 23L, descent was from 1,386 ft agl to 65 ft agl in 107 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, and wings level; they were not met for centreline and speed (at one gate). At 216 ft agl the aircraft was in final flap position 4 with a speed of 143 kt.

The aircraft touched down on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 136 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 375 m from the threshold at a speed of 127 kt, a little fast, with a vertical rate of minus 271 fpm. Alignment at touchdown was perfect and there was no bounce.

Total landing distance was 728 m, 20 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 10.7 m. Local weather at landing was temperature 15 °C, wind 17 kt from 229°, with a 6 kt cross-wind and a 16 kt head-wind.

Taxi from the runway to parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 20 nm in 8 minutes and consumed 10,114 kg of fuel.
