The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying at an altitude of 36,789 feet asl for 126 minutes, covering a distance of 983 nautical miles.

The aircraft continued its journey, entering another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 36,983 feet asl to 37,985 feet asl, an increase of 1,002 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying at an altitude of 37,985 feet asl for 350 minutes, covering a distance of 2,732 nautical miles.

The aircraft continued its journey, entering another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 37,994 feet asl to 39,672 feet asl, an increase of 1,678 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying at an altitude of 39,672 feet asl for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 301 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, descending from 39,984 feet asl to 11,276 feet asl, a decrease of 28,709 feet in just 13 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 90 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying at an altitude of 11,276 feet asl for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.

The aircraft continued its descent, entering another enroute descent, this time from an altitude of 9,565 feet asl to 1,700 feet asl, a decrease of 7,864 feet in just 8 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 32 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 249.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,342 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 317 meters and a touchdown speed of 161 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -398 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather at the time of landing was 6 degrees Celsius. The total landing distance was 2,414 meters, which is 86% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 547.7 meters from the centerline.

The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,151

Landing report
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.
