The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots blowing from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead FIMP Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, Plaine Magnien. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,169 feet above sea level to 38,395 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,226 feet, in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 182 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 229 minutes and covered a distance of 1,817 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific latitude and longitude, which were -18.2186552 and 59.9192185, respectively. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 85 miles southwest of Ambalangoda, Sri Lanka. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,671 feet above sea level to 22,706 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,965 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent phase, which started at a specific latitude and longitude, which were 6.4971345 and 78.188604, respectively. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 22,564 feet above sea level to 13,131 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,433 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent phase, which started 48 miles west of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 13,126 feet above sea level to 1,289 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,837 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 53 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 04 at VCBI Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport took place from the southwest, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 37.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 04, which had a length of 3,356 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots blowing from a direction of 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

The touchdown point was 210 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 130 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -263 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,339 meters, which was 40% of the runway. The runway

Landing on runway 04 at VCBI Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport in the Airbus A340

Landing Score 96.09 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A340 successfully landed at VCBI Bandaranaike International Colombo Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 04, which has a length of 3,356 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 141 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was 210 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent.

However, the touchdown rate of -263 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from 350°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 1,339 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and stable during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, earning the Airbus A340 a score of 96.1%.
