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 14 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 136 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.

What happened: Crossing the threshold at 142 kt, 6 kt above 136 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: 136 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 747-8 taxied from its parking position to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm on the taxiways.

During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 156 kt and became airborne after a takeoff distance of 929 m, representing 25 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 16 °C with wind from 229° at 9 kt, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.

The climb commenced overhead the airport, climbing from 974 ft asl to 1,492 ft asl, an altitude gain of 518 ft achieved in 1 minute while traversing 3 nm.

Level cruise began 2 mi south of NZAA and continued for 4 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 11 nm.

On final approach to runway 23L, the descent proceeded from 1,378 ft agl to 87 ft agl in 106 seconds, and the aircraft satisfied the stabilisation gate criteria.

Touchdown occurred on runway 23L, whose total length is 3,671 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 142 kt, and the aircraft touched down 134 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 132 kt. The touchdown rate was firm at minus 332 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 6.0 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was a temperature of 15 °C with wind from 190° at 7 kt, comprising a 6 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,183 m, equivalent to 32 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 8.5 m.

In total, the flight covered 20 nm, required 8 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 70,178 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in the Boeing 747-8
Landing Score 93.46 %
Landing Summary

Boeing 747-8 approached runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport and was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The final descent was from 1,378 ft agl to 87 ft agl in 106 seconds, under a temperature of 15 °C, wind 7 kt from 190°, with a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.

At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 142 kt. The aircraft continued the flare and prepared for touchdown in accordance with the indicated parameters.

Touchdown occurred 134 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 132 kt, which was good, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 332 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 m from the centreline.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,183 m, representing 32 % of the 3,671 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 m from the centreline.

To improve the already high score of 95.2 %, focus on tighter centreline tracking to reduce the 6.0 m touchdown offset and the 8.5 m rollout deviation, ensuring a more centered landing path.
