Next time

Arrival

Add power earlier on final to cross the threshold at 150 kt; flying it on speed removes the urge to flare early.

What happened: This flight crossed the threshold at 139 kt, slow against target, then began the flare early at 65 ft. An early flare following a slow threshold speed usually lets the sink rate build back before touchdown, producing the firm touchdown recorded here.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 150 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

Departing Perth International Airport, the Boeing 747-8 began its journey on runway 21, taking off with a takeoff distance of 1,554 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 171 knots, overcoming a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 8 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from 329 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Cloverdale, a town in the state of Western Australia. The enroute climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,040 feet above sea level to 39,015 feet, an increase of 37,975 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 158 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 187 minutes and covering 1,572 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 12 miles west of Oakdale, a town in the state of New South Wales. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 39,007 feet to 1,012 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 16R at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 168.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 985 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots and a distance of 409 meters. The touchdown rate was slightly hard at -416 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,171 meters, accounting for 30% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,860 nautical miles, taking 239 minutes and consuming 32,276 kilograms of fuel.
