What went well

Touched down at -430 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 36 ft and 134 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 2.59 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, g force 0.92 to 1.94 g at 87 %, −1.07 points
Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 %, −0.74 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 9.17 m left at 78 %, −0.42 points

Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight in question was conducted on an Airbus A330-900 aircraft. Before departure, it took 14 minutes to taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then took off from runway 34 at Melbourne International Airport, which had a length of 2,500m. The takeoff distance covered 47% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots, achieved at a time when the wind conditions were relatively challenging, with a crosswind of 12 knots, and a headwind of 32 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into level cruise after crossing the state boundaries from Victoria to New South Wales. The climb took place in two stages, the first from 1,405 feet above sea level to 35,997 feet, covering 146 nautical miles and increasing in altitude by 34,592 feet. The climb was completed in just 24 minutes. This was followed by a long period of level cruise, lasting 191 minutes and covering 1,463 nautical miles from the vicinity of Deniliquin.

The aircraft subsequently climbed again as it entered the state of Queensland. This climb, though short, was significant as it involved an increase of 1,371 feet in altitude in just two minutes. This was the shortest climb segment of the flight. Following another period of level cruise, which lasted 212 minutes and covered 1,432 nautical miles from the vicinity of Horn, the aircraft climbed once more. This final climb segment involved an increase of 2,003 feet in altitude in just three minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.

After completing these various climb and cruise stages, the aircraft began its descent phase, commencing over 42 miles south west of RCLM Dongsha Island (Pratas Island) Airport near Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The descent took 29 minutes to cover 178 nautical miles, resulting in a decrease of 37,975 feet in altitude from 40,007 feet to 2,032 feet above sea level.

The final stage of the flight involved a brief period of level cruise and a steep descent to land on runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport, which had a length of 3,452 meters. The aircraft touched down 251 meters beyond the threshold zone and at a speed of 133 knots, resulting in a touchdown rate of -332 feet per minute. The aircraft taxied to the parking area after the landing, taking just five minutes to cover a distance of less than one nautical mile.

The flight had a total distance of 4,255 nautical miles and took a total of 614 minutes to complete, during which 55,374 kilograms of fuel were used. The runway rollout alignment following the landing was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high degree of complexity, with the aircraft undertaking several different climb and cruise stages before its eventual descent and landing at the destination airport.

Landing Summary

On this particular aircraft landing, the Airbus A330-900 successfully touched down on runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH). The aircraft's final approach was from the southwest and it was heading directly towards the runway at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level. One notable aspect of the approach was that it was executed at a speed of 71.0°, which is generally considered acceptable for navigating through complex airspace.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 133 knots, however, this was found to be slightly too high. The touchdown point was 251 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but it was noted that the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was also within acceptable limits.

The firm nature of the touchdown rate at -332 feet per minute suggests a controlled and stable approach, and the runway alignment was very good at the point of touchdown. Local conditions during the landing included a temperature of 26° Celsius and winds of 28 knots from a direction of 100°. This resulted in a 14-knot crosswind and a 24-knot headwind, which may have contributed to the slightly high touchdown speed.

One area for improvement was the runway rollout alignment, which was found to be slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.2 meters. However, the total landing distance of 1,532 meters only represented 44% of the available runway length, indicating a safe and controlled descent.
