Landing on runway 18R at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport in the Boeing 747-8

Landing Score 85.1 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) on runway 18R, but the landing was not without some notable issues. The aircraft scored an 85.1% on its landing, indicating a good overall performance but with some room for improvement.

The final approach to the runway was initiated from the north, heading 171.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,373 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully landed on the runway, but the threshold height was slightly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing configuration.

The touchdown speed of 166 knots was slightly above the target speed, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -366 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown point was 255 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing position. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a loss of directional control during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the aircraft's misalignment during the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,694 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centerline, indicating a continued loss of directional control after touchdown.

Overall, the landing was successful, but the aircraft's performance was affected by a combination of factors, including a slightly above-target threshold height, a firm touchdown rate, and significant misalignment during the landing and rollout phases.
