What went well

Held the centreline on the roll in a 12 kn crosswind — 3.77 m off at liftoff
Touched down at -152 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 490 m in — inside the full-score zone

What held you back

Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 11.46 m right at 77 %, −0.68 points
Arrival Approach — 1,000 ft gate 100 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −0.48 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was well above target at 144 kt at 79 %, −0.39 points

Next time

Departure

Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 140 kt, not after it.

What happened: You started the rotation at 158 kt, 18 kt past the 140 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 140 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 127 kt before the gate, not after it.

What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 144 kt against a target of 127 kt, 17 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 127 kt by the gate and held to 127 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival ApproachArrival Landing

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A350-1000 departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport. Takeoff used 1,111 m (30 % of runway) and rotation occurred at 158 kt. Local weather was 16 °C with wind 17 kt from 200°, giving a 14 kt cross-wind component and an 11 kt head-wind component.

Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 12 seconds, averaging 3,025 fpm and reaching 196 kt at the top of the climb. The aircraft then climbed from 930 ft asl to 1,736 ft asl in under a minute, covering less than 1 nm while remaining overhead the Auckland airport area.

Level flight was maintained at 1,600 ft asl for 5 minutes, covering 15 nm and beginning about 1 mile south-west of NZAA.

During final approach to runway 23L, descent was from 1,303 ft agl to 57 ft agl in 104 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; the speed check was not met at one gate.

Landing was on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold speed was 144 kt, well above target. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 67 m beyond the touchdown zone at 136 kt, which was fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 152 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 11.5 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 14 °C with wind 15 kt from 199°, giving a 12 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component. No bounce occurred.

The total landing roll was 841 m, representing 23 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment remained slightly misaligned by 11.5 m from the centreline.

Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 22 nm in 8 minutes and used 0 kg of fuel.
