Top opportunity

Improve the touchdown

Arrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flare 60.57The flare strayed well off the target profile. Crossing the threshold 13 kt above target, the flare took all the sink out 37 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft then dropped the rest of the way, 202 fpm of sink coming back. Touchdown was 370 m past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - a balloon is almost always excess speed, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A330-900 taxied from its parking position to runway 33 at LPLA Lajes Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 33, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,380 m, representing 42 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 164 kt. Ambient conditions were 23 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 120°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 4 kt.

Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north of Lajes, where the airplane rose from 1,006 ft asl to 38,938 ft asl, an increase of 37,931 ft achieved in 26 minutes while covering 191 nm.

The first cruise segment began at latitude 39.0207839 and longitude -23.0771581, lasting 58 minutes and spanning 529 nm at level flight.

Descent phase one started at latitude 38.9566832 and longitude -11.7036101, with the aircraft descending from 39,001 ft asl to 8,000 ft asl, a loss of 31,000 ft in 13 minutes over a distance of 90 nm.

A brief cruise followed 15 miles west of Azenhas do Mar (Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal), lasting 3 minutes and covering 17 nm.

The second descent began 8 miles south-west of Cascais (Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal), where altitude fell from 7,997 ft asl to 1,638 ft asl, a decrease of 6,358 ft in 8 minutes across 26 nm.

Final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela) was conducted from the south, on a heading of 23.0° at 4 nm and 1,281 ft agl.

Landing on runway 02 occurred with a runway length of 3,716 m; the threshold speed was 153 kt, touchdown distance measured 376 m, touchdown speed was 148 kt, and touchdown rate was minus 483 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 4.3 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 21 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 299°, a cross-wind component of 4 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,504 m, equivalent to 40 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained very good alignment throughout the roll.

After exiting the runway, the Airbus A330-900 taxied to its parking area in another 3 minutes, again covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight encompassed 860 nm, required 116 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 10,387 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A330-900 established a final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport from the south, tracking a heading of 23.0° at 4 nm and 1,281 ft agl, with ambient temperature 21 °C, wind 4 kt from 299°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.

The threshold height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 153 kt, which was well above the target speed.

Touchdown occurred 376 m down the runway; the aircraft’s speed at touchdown was 148 kt, described as fast, and the vertical rate was hard at minus 483 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, being 4.3 m off the centreline.

The total landing distance measured 1,504 m, representing 40 % of the 3,716 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.

Reduce the approach and touchdown speeds to meet target values and achieve a smoother flare, and tighten the lateral path to keep the touchdown point within the centreline tolerance.
