Landing on runway 07C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport in the Airbus A350-900

Landing Score 88.72 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.7%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 71.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly above the optimal range, indicating a potential for a slightly harder landing. The touchdown rate was indeed very hard, measuring -518 feet per minute (fpm), which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.

The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, deviating by 8.1 meters. This misalignment may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 9 knots at 320°, and a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,322 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for 38% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.2 meters from the centreline, indicating a potential for further improvement in the landing technique.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment with the centreline. With further training and practice, the pilots can work towards achieving a more optimal landing performance.
