Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 12 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 452 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 556 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

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.

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.

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.

Flare
84.88 %
The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare arrested the sink and then let it come back - 452 fpm of it - so the aircraft dropped the last few feet. Touchdown was 764 m past the threshold. Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established.
