What went well

Touched down at -491 fpm — a soft arrival
1.44 G at touchdown — inside band
Rollout controlled — 36 % of the runway used

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 83 ft agl was significantly above target at 37 %, −1.97 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 9.30 m left at 77 %, Liftoff speed was 185 kt at 81 %, −0.70 points
Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft, then landing lights off should be on; speed limits at 53 %, −0.70 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.3 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 144 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.

What happened: Crossing the threshold at 181 kt, 37 kt above 144 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 144 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight in question took off from runway 18 at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, a hub for several major airlines, on an Airbus A380, one of the largest commercial aircraft in the world. As the aircraft rolled down the runway, it picked up speed and lifted off the ground after traveling approximately 2,688 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 185 knots before it began its initial climb.

Initially, the aircraft climbed at a steep rate, gaining 16,530 feet in just 8 minutes, and covering a distance of 24 nautical miles as it ascended from 1,387 feet above sea level to 17,917 feet. This climb took the aircraft over several villages in Germany, including Moerfelden-Walldorf and Wonsheim. After leveling off at 17,923 feet for a brief period of 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles, the aircraft began its descent over Staudernheim, in order to make the next approach into a regional airport.

However, the aircraft's pilot soon changed course and began a new climb from 9,738 feet above sea level to 17,877 feet in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles, passing over the villages of Niederweiler and Polich. The aircraft then leveled off for 3 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles, before it initiated its second descent, which took place in the vicinity of Berdorf, Luxembourg. This final descent was steeper, with the aircraft decreasing by 12,010 feet in just 6 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles, as it descended from 17,836 feet to 5,826 feet above sea level.

After another brief period of leveling off over Mamer, Luxembourg, at an altitude of 5,227 feet for 5 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles, the aircraft initiated its final descent over Dippach. The aircraft then began a short climb to a higher altitude, reaching 2,778 feet in 3 minutes, from 2,256 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles, as it passed over the village of Villers-la-Montagne in France.

As the aircraft closed in on runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, it was in a final approach from the southwest, heading at 60 degrees. The aircraft touched down at a location 432 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 158 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -382 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway alignment was slightly misaligned, with the aircraft straying 7.7 meters off the centerline.

The total landing distance covered a distance of 1,487 meters, which is approximately 37% of the 3,989-meter runway length. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, with the aircraft deviating 9.6 meters from the centerline. After touchdown, the aircraft took only 2 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Overall, the Airbus A380 flight from EDDF to ELLX consumed a total distance of 135 nautical miles and covered a total flight time of 34 minutes. The aircraft used approximately 9,782 kilograms of fuel throughout its flight. Local weather conditions were mostly clear during the flight, with temperatures ranging from 16°C to 8°C, and wind conditions varying from 4 to 11 knots.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A380 successfully landed at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, but the landing was not without its shortcomings. The aircraft was approaching runway 06 from the southwest, heading in at 60.0° at an altitude of 1,522 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. This brought the aircraft to a position just short of the threshold for touchdown.

However, the aircraft's approach speed and angle of attack were not ideal, resulting in an excessively high threshold height of 83 feet agl, significantly above the target height. Moreover, the touch down speed of 158 kt was marginally above the desired rate, while the touch down speed was also higher than expected.

The aircraft then proceeded to touch down 432 meters beyond the designated touch down zone on runway 06, which has a total length of 3,989 meters. The touchdown rate of -382 ft per minute was firm but acceptable. Notably, the runway touchdown position deviated by 7.7 meters to the left of the centerline.

Local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 8°C and wind gust speeds of 11 kt with a direction of 39°, which translates to a significant head wind of 11 kt. However, the crosswind component was much lower at 4 kt, minimizing any significant effects on lateral stability and control.

Once on the ground, the aircraft took an unexpectedly long time to come to a complete stop, covering a total distance of 1,487 meters or approximately 37% of the runway. Runway rollout alignment also deviated by 9.6 meters to the left of the centerline.

In summary, while the Airbus A380 successfully completed its landing at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, there were areas of improvement noted in terms of approach speed, touchdown speed, angle of attack, and deviations from ideal runway alignment. Nevertheless, the actual touchdown speed and the total time it took for the aircraft to come to a complete stop was satisfactory under given weather conditions.
