Arrival
This flight was operated by an Airbus A340 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a location 2 miles north of Holsbeek in Flanders, Belgium. The aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 2,915 feet above sea level and successfully climbed to 1,413 feet above sea level, achieving an increase of 1,502 feet in just 3 minutes while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Brussels Airport, it began its final approach to runway 25L from the east, maintaining a heading of 252.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 126 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 418 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots blowing from a direction of 180 degrees. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown rate of -238 feet per minute, which was considered fair.
After landing, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining a very good alignment. The total landing distance was 1,026 meters, which accounted for approximately 33% of the runway length. The runway length at Brussels Airport is 3,082 meters, providing ample space for the aircraft to come to a stop safely.
In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a total of 320 kilograms of fuel, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles in 4 minutes. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with the aircraft performing well in various aspects, including climb, approach, landing, and rollout.

The Airbus A340 aircraft has accomplished a successful landing at EBBR Brussels Airport. The final approach to runway 25L from the east was initiated at a 4-nautical-mile distance from the runway with the aircraft cruising at an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level. The aircraft was heading towards a magnetic bearing of 252.0 degrees at this point.
Upon assessment of the performance metrics related to the landing, it can be seen that the threshold height was well-managed, meeting standard expectations. However, a minor deviation occurred as the threshold speed turned out to be slightly below the recommended target of 130 kt, resulting in a speed of 127 kt.
The distance the aircraft covered before touchdown was measured, and results indicate an acceptable touchdown distance of 418 meters, showcasing the pilots' ability to accurately navigate the aircraft during its descent and landing. This was further complemented with a measured touchdown speed of 126 kt that aligned well with the standard parameters for such an event.
One area requiring improvement involves the touchdown rate, which showed a rate of -238 feet per minute, rated as fair based on the assessment. Notwithstanding this result, the pilots have demonstrated good control over the aircraft, especially considering the touchdown alignment with the runway, which was classified as very good.
Weather conditions present during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a moderate headwind of 4 knots with some crosswind effects of 10 kt from the wind direction.
Landed with a 10 kt crosswind, well done!
