Top opportunity

Maintain the centreline

Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 747-8 took off from runway 27 at Miami International Airport (KMIA), rolling down the 11,637-foot runway. The aircraft required a takeoff distance of 2,603 feet, which is 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 146 knots, marking the beginning of the aircraft's ascent.

As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from an altitude of 957 feet above sea level to 1,166 feet, an increase of 209 feet in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. This rapid climb was a testament to the aircraft's impressive performance capabilities.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft leveled off and entered a cruise phase, lasting for 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This brief period of steady flight allowed the aircraft to stabilize and prepare for the final approach.

The final approach to runway 27 at KMIA was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading towards the runway at a bearing of 266.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 145 feet above ground level and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 132 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown point was 826 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was -175 feet per minute, also considered good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 4,891 feet, which is 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. The local weather conditions during landing were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.

The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft consumed a significant amount of fuel, with a total of 128,769 pounds being used during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 27 at KMIA Miami International Airport in the Boeing 747-8
Landing Score 95.74 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 27, achieving a high score of 95.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 266.0° at an altitude of 145 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a good threshold height and speed of 144 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 826 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 132 knots and a descent rate of -175 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates a smooth and controlled touchdown, with the aircraft maintaining a stable approach and landing configuration. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure precise alignment during future landings.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 60°F and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 4,891 feet was 42% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes and control surfaces were functioning effectively to maintain a stable and controlled rollout.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position may require further attention to ensure precise alignment during future landings.
