The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,123 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 447 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Airbus A380 began with a 9-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at GOBD Blaise Diagne International Airport. The departure roll took place on runway 01, with a takeoff distance of 1,268 meters, covering 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, with the local weather indicating a temperature of 34°C, wind at 4 knots from 330°, with crosswind at 2 knots and headwind at 3 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile north of GOBD, climbing from 1,280 feet above sea level to 37,912 feet above sea level, covering 75 nautical miles in 11 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise 23 miles west of Saint-Louis, lasting 180 minutes and covering 1,341 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 9 miles south of LPFR Faro Airport, descending from 37,883 feet above sea level to 4,136 feet above sea level, covering 114 nautical miles in 20 minutes. Following this, the aircraft entered another brief level cruise 5 miles northwest of Sesimbra, covering 12 nautical miles in 4 minutes.
The landing took place on runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, with a runway length of 3,123 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 15 feet above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 138 knots. The touchdown occurred 446 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -79 ft/m. Local weather at the time of landing was 19°C, with wind at 2 knots from 90°, crosswind at 2 knots, and headwind at 1 knot.
Overall, the total flight distance covered was 1,550 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 344 minutes. The flight consumed 35,359 kilograms of fuel.
Congratulations on achieving an outstanding aircraft landing score of 97.4%! Let's delve into the detailed analysis of each phase to understand what contributed to this impressive performance.
During the Approach Phase, the glideslope alignment was excellent. This indicates that the aircraft maintained the correct descent path towards the runway, ensuring a smooth transition from the cruising altitude to the landing phase. Proper glideslope alignment is essential for ensuring the aircraft is in the correct position for a successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that the aircraft had a good threshold height. This means that the pilot correctly judged the height above the runway at which to initiate the landing flare, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown. Additionally, having a great landing flare indicates that the transition from descent to touchdown was well-managed, ensuring a gentle and controlled landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, the analysis shows that the touchdown rate was excellent. A precise and controlled touchdown is crucial for a safe landing, and achieving an excellent touchdown rate demonstrates skill and precision on the part of the pilot. Furthermore, maintaining the target speed during touchdown is essential for a smooth landing, and the fact that the speed was on target speaks to the pilot's proficiency.
It's also worth noting that the touchdown distance was inside the designated touchdown zone. This is a critical factor in ensuring that the aircraft lands in the correct area of the runway, allowing for efficient taxiing and minimizing the risk of runway incursions. Additionally, landing 40 feet from the centerline indicates that the aircraft touched down in a position that allowed for easy alignment with the runway and ensured a safe and controlled landing.
Overall, the analysis of the aircraft landing score of 97.4% highlights a combination of factors that contributed to a successful landing. From excellent glideslope alignment and good threshold height to a great landing flare and precise touchdown, each phase of the landing was executed with skill and precision. Congratulations on this achievement, and keep up the excellent work in ensuring safe and efficient landings in the future.
