The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 18 at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 895 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, Germany. The climb from 1,355 feet above sea level to 2,857 feet above sea level was achieved in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase started 2 miles southwest of Moerfelden-Walldorf. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 3,875 feet above sea level to 21,704 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,829 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles. This climb started 1 mile northeast of Riedstadt, Germany.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 14 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles. This phase started overhead Braunweiler, Germany. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Gouvy, Belgium. The descent from 21,575 feet above sea level to 1,389 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,186 feet, took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport (EBBR) was made from the northeast, heading 245.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,234 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 97 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 25R, which had a length of 3,075 meters. The threshold height at 72 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 134 knots.

The touchdown point was 135 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -565 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,337 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 195 nautical miles, taking 77 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,507 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport in the A400M

Landing Score 86.05 %

Landing Summary

The A400M aircraft successfully landed on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, achieving an overall score of 83.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,234 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 135 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a more optimal touchdown. The touchdown rate of -565 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the rollout phase.

The total landing distance of 1,337 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown speed and touchdown rate, and maintaining a more accurate rollout alignment.
