Flight narrative

The Airbus A380 taxied from the parking area to runway 28L at KSFO, San Francisco International Airport in 13 minutes, covering 4 nm on the ground.

During the departure roll on runway 28L, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,998 m, representing 59 % of the runway, and achieved a liftoff speed of 175 kt; ambient temperature was 20 °C with a wind of 24 kt from 270°, including an 11 kt crosswind and a 21 kt headwind.

The first en-route climb commenced overhead San Bruno, California, climbing from 1,036 ft asl to 35,710 ft asl-a gain of 34,674 ft-over 25 minutes while covering 146 nm.

Level cruise began at latitude 36.1605096, longitude -124.7715868 and continued for 333 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 2,712 nm.

A second climb started 75 miles east of PLPA Palmyra (Cooper) Airport, ascending from 36,001 ft asl to 40,001 ft asl, an increase of 4,000 ft in 5 minutes and covering 45 nm.

The subsequent cruise segment originated 35 miles east of PLPA Palmyra (Cooper) Airport and lasted 336 minutes, with a distance of 3,497 nm traversed.

Descent began 91 miles south-east of Smiths Lake, New South Wales, Australia, descending from 40,005 ft asl to 1,363 ft asl-a loss of 38,642 ft-in 28 minutes and covering 139 nm.

The final approach to runway 25 at YSSY, Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, was executed from the east on a heading of 254.0°, at 4 nm and 1,337 ft agl.

Landing on runway 25, which is 2,426 m long, the aircraft encountered a threshold height of 66 ft agl above target and a threshold speed of 139 kt slightly above target; touchdown occurred 346 m beyond the touchdown zone at 118 kt with a firm touchdown rate of minus 384 fpm, and the touchdown point was laterally displaced 17.9 m from the centreline. Ambient temperature was 9 °C with a wind of 16 kt from 279°, including a 7 kt crosswind and a 14 kt headwind.

The rollout distance measured 1,337 m, representing 55 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was off centreline by 18.0 m.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm on the ground.

In total, the flight covered 6,552 nm, required 743 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 169,199 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A380 performed a final approach to runway 25 at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 254.0° at 4 nm and 1,337 ft agl; local conditions were 9 °C with wind 16 kt from 279°, providing a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 14 kt head-wind.

At the threshold the aircraft was 66 ft agl, which was above target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 139 kt.

Touchdown occurred 346 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 118 kt described as good; the descent rate was firm at minus 384 fpm and the touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 17.9 m from the centreline.

The aircraft used a total landing distance of 1,337 m, representing 55 % of the 2,426 m runway, and the rollout remained misaligned by 18.0 m from the centreline.

To tighten lateral control, concentrate on maintaining centreline alignment during the flare and rollout, and refine the approach to achieve the intended threshold height and speed.
