What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 2,292 ft at 74 %, −0.17 points

Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-1000 established a final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport from the south-east on a heading of 303.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,293 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high, while the local weather was 93 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 190 °, a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and a good threshold speed of 148 kt. The flare proceeded without further comment.

Touchdown occurred 937 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 142 kt, noted as a little fast, and a touchdown rate of minus 79 fpm, which was rated excellent. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The rollout used a total landing distance of 5,366 ft, representing 38 % of the 14,122 ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

To refine the already high score, attention should be given to reducing the sink rate to achieve a stable approach at the 1,000 ft gate, and the touchdown speed should be moderated toward the target VREF.
