The flight began with the Airbus A380 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at PAFA Fairbanks International Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 20R, with a takeoff distance of 1,309 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°.

As the aircraft climbed out of Fairbanks, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,462 feet above sea level to 39,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,546 feet in 21 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 130 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile south east of 07AN Bro Majors Airfield Trapper Creek, and lasted for 53 minutes, covering a distance of 429 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 10 miles north of PAPH Port Heiden Airport Port Heiden, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,561 feet above sea level to 25,472 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,089 feet in 9 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 28 miles north of Z52 Johnsons Landing Airport Bear Lake, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.

The enroute descent then began again, this time from an altitude of 25,472 feet above sea level to 2,901 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,572 feet in 27 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 118 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 9 miles north west of Z87 Blinn Lake Seaplane Base Cold Bay, and lasting for 4 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 15 at PACD Cold Bay Airport was made from the north west, with the aircraft heading 156.0° at an altitude of 1,787 feet above ground level, and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 15, which had a length of 3,108 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 25 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -444 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 615 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute, and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 750 nautical miles, and the flight took 124 minutes to complete, using 25,646 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 15 at PACD Cold Bay Airport in the Airbus A380

Landing Score 92.32 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A380 successfully landed at PACD Cold Bay Airport, achieving a score of 92.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 156.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,787 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway.

Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 138 knots, and the touchdown distance was also good at 25 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -444 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind.

The total landing distance of 615 meters was within 20% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position error.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot may be able to achieve an even higher score in the future.
