Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,923 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 440 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Lungi International Airport in Freetown, Sierra Leone, the Airbus A380 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking just 3 minutes to reach the runway. As it rolled down runway 30, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 165 kt, clearing the 1,305-meter takeoff distance in just 41% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 34 °C and a 15-kt headwind, presented a moderate challenge for the pilots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, steadily increasing altitude from 1,019 ft to 36,999 ft over a distance of 132 nm in just 20 minutes. The climb was punctuated by brief periods of level cruise, including a 3-minute stint at 12 miles north-west of Segbwema, where the aircraft leveled off at 36,999 ft. Further enroute climbs and level cruises followed, with the aircraft eventually reaching a cruising altitude of 38,529 ft. The descent phase began 6 miles south of Tsevie, Togo, where the aircraft began its gradual descent to 1,353 ft over a distance of 146 nm in 25 minutes.
The final approach to runway 18R at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, Nigeria, was executed from the north, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at 4 nm and 1,291 ft above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 426 m and a touchdown speed of 124 kt. The total landing distance of 1,189 m was just 30% of the available runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 m from the centreline. After a short taxiing process, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 1,026 nm and consuming 16,219 kg of fuel in the process.
The final approach to runway 18R at DNMM Murtala Muhammed International Airport from the north was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 179.0° at 4 nm and 1,291 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 135 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down smoothly on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 426 m, which was within the expected parameters. The touchdown speed of 124 kt was also good, indicating a well-controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -205 fpm was slightly higher than desired, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or the wind conditions. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 26 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 138°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 5 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft, ensuring a safe touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The rollout phase was also executed with caution, with the aircraft maintaining a slightly misaligned position from the centreline by 9.3 m. The total landing distance of 1,189 m was 30% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 96.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment, ensuring a safe and successful landing.
