Departing from the Gregorio Luperon International Airport in the Dominican Republic, the Boeing 747-8 initiated its enroute climb from a starting altitude of 3,000 feet above sea level, situated approximately 4 miles northwest of Puerto Plata. The aircraft efficiently ascended to a cruising altitude of 854 feet, a vertical gain of 2,146 feet, within a mere 3 minutes. This climb phase covered a horizontal distance of 10 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's impressive rate of ascent.
As the Boeing 747-8 began its final approach to runway 08 at the Gregorio Luperon International Airport, it maintained a heading of 70.0° from the west, approximately 2 nautical miles from the threshold. At an altitude of 804 feet above ground level, the aircraft executed a smooth touchdown on the 3,079-meter-long runway, with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The threshold speed of 145 knots was also satisfactory, while the touchdown distance of 190 meters was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly above the optimal value, resulting in a heavy touchdown rate of -689 feet per minute.
The landing phase concluded with a total landing distance of 1,078 meters, which accounted for approximately 35% of the runway length. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline, the aircraft maintained a relatively stable rollout alignment, deviating by only 8.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 334°, contributed to a minimal tailwind effect of 1 knot. The flight, which covered a total distance of 11 nautical miles, utilized 304 kilograms of fuel and lasted approximately 4 minutes.

The Boeing 747-8 touched down on runway 08 at MDPP Gregorio Luperon International Airport, a 3,079-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the west. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 145 knots, well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 190 meters was also within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly higher than desired, resulting in a heavy touchdown rate of -689 feet per minute. This may have been due to the aircraft's high mass and the relatively short runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.3 meters, which may have been a result of the crosswind component of 9 knots from the left. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 334°, may have also contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,078 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length, was acceptable. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.8 meters, which may have been a result of the aircraft's high speed and the crosswind component. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 747-8 was satisfactory, with a score of 92.1%.
