What went well

Touched down at -123 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 44 ft and 139 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 3.17 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 11.00 m right at 71 %, −0.87 points
Arrival Taxi — scored 95.05 %, −0.33 points
Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 177 kt against 202 kt at 89 %, −0.30 points

Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 202 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 177 kt against a target of 202 kt, running 25 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 202 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.

What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 8.8 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 11 m.

Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.

See Arrival LandingArrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 747-8 taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 157 kt and left the ground after a takeoff distance of 1,033 m, representing 28 % of the runway. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 14 °C with wind 9 kt from 239°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind.

The climb commenced overhead the airport, rising from 980 ft asl to 1,268 ft asl-a gain of 288 ft-in less than 1 minute while covering less than 1 nm.

Level cruise began still over NZAA and persisted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 15 nm.

Descent for the final approach proceeded from 1,477 ft agl to 79 ft agl in 105 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.

The final approach to runway 23L was conducted under a temperature of 12 °C, wind 9 kt from 240°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 9 kt head-wind.

Landing on runway 23L, which is 3,671 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 139 kt. Touchdown was recorded 117 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 174 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 3.8 m from the centreline. Total landing distance measured 1,212 m, equivalent to 33 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.0 m from the centreline.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 21 nm, took 20, and consumed 58,799 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 747-8 executed a stabilised approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits as assessed at the 1,000 ft gate. Descent was from 1,477 ft agl to 79 ft agl in 105 seconds, and the final approach remained on the centreline throughout.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good speed of 139 kt and began the flare, achieving a touchdown speed of 131 kt and a touchdown rate of -174 fpm, both rated good. The touchdown point was 117 m beyond the touchdown zone on a runway 3,671 m long, with a good threshold height, while temperature was 12 °C, wind 9 kt from 240°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind.

Touchdown occurred 117 m beyond the touchdown zone at 131 kt and -174 fpm, with the wheel track slightly off centreline by 3.8 m.

Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,212 m, representing 33 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s path was slightly misaligned by 11.0 m from the centreline during rollout.

To convert the high 95.9 % score into an even tighter performance, focus on centreline tracking to reduce the 3.8 m touchdown offset and the 11.0 m rollout drift while preserving the current speed and rate parameters.
