Landing on runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport in the Airbus A380

Landing Score 87.57 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A380 has successfully landed at Manchester Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.6%. The aircraft was approaching runway 23R from the north east, heading 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,306 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,434 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 128 knots, coming in at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 304 meters. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, with a rate of -521 feet per minute. This could potentially be a concern for the aircraft's landing gear and overall structural integrity.

One notable issue with the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-center by 16.3 meters. This could be attributed to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots at 259°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,363 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by 18.9 meters. This could be a concern for the aircraft's stability and control during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement to ensure a smoother and more controlled landing.
