Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 18°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.

What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 5.3 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 9 m.

Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.

See Arrival LandingArrival Rollout

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A380-800 completed a stabilised approach to runway 07C at VHHH Hong Kong International Airport, with the 1,000 ft gate confirming gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The descent progressed from 1,334 ft AGL to 68 ft AGL over 100 seconds and the approach earned full marks on the stabilisation gates, contributing to the overall score of 98.4 %.

At threshold the aircraft displayed good height and a threshold speed of 136 kt, both recorded as good. The flare transitioned smoothly to a touchdown speed of 129 kt, a touchdown rate of minus 158 fpm and runway-touchdown alignment described as very good.

Touchdown occurred 219 m beyond the touchdown zone, with the speed of 129 kt and the rate of minus 158 fpm both judged good, and the alignment remained very good throughout the contact phase.

Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,799 m, representing 50 % of the 3,621 m runway, and the runway-rollout alignment was very good under the reported weather of 31 °C, wind 4 kt from 310°, crosswind 3 kt and tailwind 2 kt.

A minor refinement would be to adjust flare timing to achieve touchdown nearer the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point, which would further reduce rollout distance while preserving the excellent speed and alignment already demonstrated.
