Departure
Arrival
The described flight involved an Airbus A340 aircraft, which initiated its enroute climb from a location situated approximately 2 miles north of Holsbeek in Flanders, Belgium. The aircraft began climbing from a height of 2,915 feet above sea level (ft asl), achieving a height of 1,411 ft asl following a 2-minute climb. This remarkable ascent covered a distance of 6 nautical miles and corresponded to an impressive increase of 1,504 ft in altitude.
Upon reaching its final approach configuration, the aircraft was headed towards runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport, coming in from the east with a bearing of 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles above the ground (agl) at an altitude of 1,255 ft. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 10 °C and a light wind blowing at 11 kt from a southerly direction (180°), which resulted in a 10 kt crosswind and a gentle 4 kt headwind.
When the aircraft touched down on runway 25L, its touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, specifically 268 meters beyond the threshold. Notably, the touchdown speed was within the desired target at 123 kt, although the rate of descent, at -223 fpm, could be described as fair. Fortunately, the aircraft's alignment on the runway during landing was perfectly in line, ensuring a smooth touchdown.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft executed its rollout, which, however, was found to be only slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centreline of the runway. The total distance covered during the landing process was 1,538 meters, representing exactly 50% of the available runway length. The aircraft had made efficient use of its fuel, consuming a total of 344 kilograms throughout the flight, which had lasted approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles.

On November 12 1983 this Airbus A360 landed at EBBR Brussels Airport which marks as one of the best landing performed as the score was 86.1%. The aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 25L at an altitude of 1,255 feet, which is equivalent to 384 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles away from the runway.
As the aircraft descended onto the runway, the initial altitude read 1,255 ft agl while the runway threshold is at a height of 68 ft above ground level. The aircraft's approach was somewhat high, above the target height. On the other hand, the speed was a little below the threshold speed at 127 knots. This minor speed discrepancy did not affect the aircraft's general performance during the landing process.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed with an airspeed of approximately 123 knots, and was able to control its rate of descent, which was reported as fair, at a rate of -223 feet per minute. The alignment during touchdown was excellent as the runway touched down in alignment with the centreline of the runway, thus ensuring safe operation.
The local weather conditions also played a significant role in the successful landing as the crosswind and headwinds affected the aircraft's performance. There was a moderate wind speed of 11 knots and it was blowing at an altitude in the eastern direction while the wind experienced by the aircraft was 10 knots of crosswind and 4 as headwind.
It's worth noting that the total distance needed to bring the aircraft to rest after touching the runway was 1,538 meters, equivalent to 50% of the length of runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport. The rollout alignment, however, had a small deviation of 12.9 meters from the centreline.
Landed with a 10 kt crosswind, well done!
