Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 35L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,897 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,613 feet above sea level to 37,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,390 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 295 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 3 miles east of Quitman, Arkansas, and lasted for 32 minutes, covering a distance of 1,166 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 1 mile northeast of CYMT Chapais Airport Chibougamau, Quebec, Canada, and climbed from 37,072 feet above sea level to 39,001 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,929 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise resumed 21 miles east of Mistissini, Quebec, Canada, and lasted for 45 minutes, covering a distance of 1,559 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting at a latitude of 63.4337031 and a longitude of -30.6005606, and climbed from 38,992 feet above sea level to 41,001 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,008 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise continued, starting at a latitude of 63.6404048 and a longitude of -28.2446096, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 1,351 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 9 miles northeast of Mariehamn, and descended from 40,929 feet above sea level to 1,538 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,391 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 04L at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport was made from the southwest, heading 47.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,378 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,992 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 276 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -445 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,233 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,637 nautical miles, and the flight duration was

Landing on runway 04L at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport in the Airbus A350-900
Landing Score 97.63 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 aircraft successfully landed at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The final approach to runway 04L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 47.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,378 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 276 meters was within acceptable limits, further highlighting the pilot's skill and control.

However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -445 feet per minute (fpm). A slightly slower touchdown speed would have likely resulted in a softer touchdown rate.

Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment with the runway during the final approach and touchdown phases. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -14°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 330°, were not particularly challenging, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance of 1,233 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the final approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rate to achieve an even smoother and softer touchdown.
