Landing on runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in the Airbus A340-600

Landing Score 80.05 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A340-600 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,342 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 317 meters, which is considered good.

However, there were some areas of concern during the landing. The threshold speed was well above the target speed, reaching 164 knots, which may indicate that the aircraft was not fully configured for landing. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 161 knots was faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -398 feet per minute (fpm). This may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and could potentially lead to wear and tear.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. Despite this, the aircraft was able to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, indicating good pilot control and adherence to standard operating procedures.

One area of concern was the runway rollout alignment, which was excessively misaligned by 547.7 meters from the centerline. This may indicate that the pilots did not fully apply the brakes or did not maintain proper control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. This could potentially lead to issues with the aircraft's directional control and may require additional training or reevaluation of the pilots' procedures.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas that require attention and improvement to ensure that the aircraft is operated safely and efficiently.
