What went well

Touchdown 300 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 22 ft and 134 kt — both inside band
1.38 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Taxi — peak speed in a turn 26 kt at 0 %, −1.70 points
Departure Taxi — peak taxi speed 41 kt at 43 %, −1.52 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 21.24 m left at 34 %, −1.24 points

Next time

Departure

Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 156 kt rather than letting speed build further.

What happened: You lifted off at 184 kt against a rotation target of 156 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.

Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 156 kt.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

What happened: The flare began late at 3.6 ft, 7.7 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 05L at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (RCTP). The takeoff distance was 1,166 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 184 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 27 knots at 39°.

As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,113 feet above sea level to 40,870 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,757 feet in 38 minutes, covering a distance of 227 nautical miles. The climb started overhead RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, and the aircraft continued to climb until it reached its cruising altitude.

The enroute level cruise started 82 miles southwest of Qimei (Taiwan, Taiwan) and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 41,069 feet above sea level to 9,141 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,928 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles. This descent started 35 miles south of Jiazi (Guangdong Sheng, China).

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 4 miles southeast of Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport (GA) Kowloon City (Yuen Long District, Hong Kong) and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile east of Sok Kwu Wan (Islands District, Hong Kong), and the aircraft descended from 8,745 feet above sea level to 4,458 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,287 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 2 miles northeast of Hong Kong International Airport Kai Tak Kowloon City (Kowloon City, Hong Kong) and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile west of Sha Tin (Sha Tin, Hong Kong), and the aircraft descended from 4,480 feet above sea level to 1,900 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,580 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 3 miles south of Tuen Mun (Tuen Mun, Hong Kong) and lasting for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07C at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) was from the southwest, heading 71.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 07C at VHHH was successful, with a touchdown distance of 301 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -518 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 320°.

The total landing distance was 1,322 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 21.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance

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.
