The Boeing 747-8 touched down on runway 16R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft descended from 985 ft agl at 4 nm to the threshold, maintaining a steady heading of 168.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway.
As the aircraft touched down, it achieved a threshold speed of 139 kt, which was slightly below the target speed. The touchdown distance of 409 m was good, indicating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -416 fpm was slightly hard, but not excessive. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a 10 kt headwind, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The Boeing 747-8 rolled out on the runway with a total distance of 1,171 m, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 97.0%, reflecting a high level of precision and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
