Next time

Departure

Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.

What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.4 g, a high value for that phase.

Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 129 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.

What happened: Crossing the threshold at 135 kt, 6 kt above 129 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 129 kt at the threshold.

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 A350-900 taxied from its parking position to runway 33 at Birmingham International Airport in 5 minutes, covering a ground distance of 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 33, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 160 kt and became airborne after a take-off run of 565 m, representing 22 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 22 °C with wind from 279° at 21 kt, providing a 14 kt headwind and a 15 kt cross-wind component.

Climb commenced overhead Birmingham International Airport, with the A350-900 ascending from 1,254 ft asl to 40,976 ft asl - a gain of 39,723 ft - over 28 minutes while covering 225 nm.

The first cruise segment began 2 nm west of Ter Heijde in the Netherlands and was maintained for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 85 nm at level altitude.

Descent started 2 nm east of Arcen, Netherlands, with the aircraft descending from 40,476 ft asl to 3,998 ft asl - a loss of 36,478 ft - in 35 minutes, traversing 159 nm.

A second cruise phase was initiated 1 nm south-east of Birstein, Germany, lasting 8 minutes and covering 33 nm at a constant cruise altitude.

The subsequent descent began 1 nm south of Hanau am Main, Germany, where the aircraft reduced altitude from 4,109 ft asl to 1,609 ft asl - a decrease of 2,499 ft - over 5 minutes, completing a further 10 nm of flight.

For the final approach to runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport, the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 250.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm out and 1,263 ft agl.

Landing on runway 25L, which is 3,986 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 136 kt, higher than the target. Touchdown was recorded 292 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 145 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 237 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was very good, and local weather reported a temperature of 24 °C, wind from 240° at 16 kt, giving a 16 kt headwind and a 3 kt cross-wind component.

Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 1,516 m, equivalent to 38 % of the runway length, and the aircraft maintained very good alignment throughout the ground run.

In total, the flight covered 518 nm, required 90 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 9,006 kg of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in the Airbus A350-900
Landing Score 92.08 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 established the final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt from the east, tracking a heading of 250.0° at 4 nm and 1,263 ft agl. The approach was conducted in 24 °C temperature with a wind of 16 kt from 240°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 16 kt head-wind.

At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was well above target at 136 kt. The flare was initiated from this speed.

Touchdown occurred 292 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 145 kt, which was noted as too fast, and a vertical rate of -237 fpm described as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,516 m, representing 38 % of the 3,986 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

Reduce the approach and touchdown speeds toward the target values to bring the touchdown point closer to the intended zone, and refine flare timing to achieve the aim point while maintaining the very good alignment already demonstrated.

Landing
Landing on runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, runway length 3,986 m. Good threshold height. Threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 kt.
Height

Speed

Threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 kt. Target 129 kt
Flare
84.74 %
The flare mostly held the target profile. Crossing the threshold 6 kt above target, the flare began at 7 ft agl above the runway, lower than this type wants. Touchdown was 698 m past the threshold. Begin raising the nose earlier - a late flare leaves no time to arrest the sink.
