What went well

Touched down at -176 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 48 ft and 138 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.29 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — Landing gear up at 905 ft agl at 16 %, −1.74 points
Departure Taxi — peak taxi speed 41 kt at 44 %, −1.49 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 698 m at 74 %, −0.41 points
Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, −0.33 points

Next time

Departure

Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.

What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 905 ft agl.

Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.

What happened: Touchdown point came 241 m past the target, landing at 698 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.

Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.

See Arrival Touchdown

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A380-800 taxied from its parking position to runway 34L at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in 11 minutes, covering 5 nm on the ground.

On departure roll the aircraft accelerated along runway 34L, using 2,502 m of runway (63 % of the available length) before lifting off at 161 kt. Local conditions were 21 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 299°, providing a 2 kt headwind and a 2 kt cross-wind component.

The first en-route climb began over Sydenham, New South Wales, climbing from 985 ft asl to 33,001 ft asl - an increase of 32,016 ft - in 22 minutes while covering 152 nm.

A subsequent climb segment started 74 nm south-east of Neiafu, Vavaʻu, Tonga, rising from 33,068 ft asl to 34,938 ft asl (1,871 ft) in 2 minutes and traversing 13 nm.

The next climb commenced at latitude 1.2667357, longitude -154.877716, gaining altitude from 35,000 ft asl to 36,660 ft asl (1,660 ft) over 2 minutes and 13 nm.

A further climb was initiated at latitude 21.4011194, longitude -136.4276532, increasing from 37,480 ft asl to 38,919 ft asl (1,439 ft) in 2 minutes while covering another 13 nm.

Cruise flight began 100 nm south-east of Fingal Bay, New South Wales, and continued for 232 minutes, during which the aircraft logged 1,994 nm at level altitude.

The second cruise leg started 78 nm south-east of Neiafu, Vavaʻu, lasting 197 minutes and adding 1,627 nm to the flight path.

A third cruise segment originated at latitude 1.4455207, longitude -154.7307084 and persisted for 192 minutes, covering 1,606 nm.

The final cruise phase began at latitude 21.5772109, longitude -136.2390852, lasting 122 minutes and contributing 1,097 nm before descent commenced.

Descent began 59 nm south of San Nicolas Island NOLF (KNSI), with the aircraft descending from 38,696 ft asl to 1,441 ft asl - a loss of 37,255 ft - in 28 minutes while traveling 160 nm.

During the final approach to runway 25R at Los Angeles International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,348 ft agl to 97 ft agl in 102 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 25R was executed with a threshold speed of 138 kt; touchdown occurred 286 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 127 kt and a vertical rate of minus 173 fpm. The runway length is 3,641 m, and the aircraft used 1,644 m of it (45 % of the runway). Local weather was 22 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 260°, providing a 2 kt headwind and no cross-wind component. Runway-rollout alignment was reported as perfect.

In total the flight covered 6,686 nm, required 809 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 183,278 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A380-800 executed a stabilised approach at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. Descent was from 1,348 ft agl to 97 ft agl in 102 seconds and the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 22 °C with wind 2 kt from 260°, cross-wind 0 kt and head-wind 2 kt.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 kt, both recorded as good.

Touchdown occurred 286 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 kt and a vertical rate of minus 173 fpm, each judged good, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,644 m, representing 45 % of the 3,641 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

With a score of 98.8 % the landing was excellent; refining flare timing to bring the touchdown point slightly closer to the aim point will further optimise runway usage.

Flare
100 %
The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 698 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.
