The Airbus A380 has successfully landed at NTAA Faa'a International Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 234.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,364 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 139 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 336 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm). This firm touchdown rate could potentially put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may require further investigation to determine the cause.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.5 meters, which may have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,210 meters was 41% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a stop. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.2 meters, which may require further investigation to determine the cause.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to touchdown speed and alignment. Further analysis and training may be necessary to optimize the aircraft's performance and ensure safe and efficient landings in the future.
