The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A350-900 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll from runway 07R at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) was executed, with a takeoff distance of 1,784 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 165 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 80°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north of Tung Chung, where the aircraft ascended from 1,061 feet above sea level to 36,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,939 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 313 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 13 minutes and covered 414 nautical miles. The cruise phase started at a latitude of 18.0934858 and a longitude of 116.3311544. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with multiple enroute climb and level cruise phases, each lasting from a few minutes to over an hour. These phases took the aircraft over various locations, including the Philippines and Indonesia.

One of the notable climbs occurred 19 miles west of Culion Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 36,000 feet to 37,001 feet in 2 minutes, covering 54 nautical miles. Another significant climb took place 41 miles southeast of Larat Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 37,000 feet to 39,000 feet in 3 minutes, covering 109 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 53 minutes and covered 1,704 nautical miles. This phase started at a latitude of -8.7668154 and a longitude of 133.7594901. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with another notable climb occurring 65 miles southwest of Ahipara, where the aircraft descended from 41,002 feet to 1,302 feet in 19 minutes, covering 161 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) was executed from the east, heading 251.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 350 meters and a touchdown speed of 136 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 1,403 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,051 nautical miles, taking 186 minutes, and the aircraft used 62,383 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in the Airbus A350-900

Landing Score 98.74 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed on runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) with a score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,285 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 kt, coming in at 138 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.

The touchdown distance was good, measuring 350 meters, which is a reasonable distance for an aircraft of this size. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 kt, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -256 fpm. This rate is considered fair, but it could be improved upon.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. However, this misalignment did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 15 kt from 219°. The crosswind component was 8 kt, while the headwind component was 13 kt. These conditions would have required the pilots to make some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path to ensure a stable and controlled landing.

The total landing distance was 1,403 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's size and the landing conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold. While there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown rate, the pilots were able to compensate for these deviations and execute a safe and controlled landing.
