Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A350-900 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.

The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 16 at LSZH Zürich Airport, using 1,820 m of runway (49 % of the available length) before liftoff at 164 kt. Ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.

Climb began overhead LSZH, with the airplane accelerating from 2,486 ft asl to 34,002 ft asl, an altitude gain of 31,516 ft achieved in 22 minutes while traversing 147 nm. A subsequent climb segment started at latitude 50.0179919 ° N, longitude -16.057324 ° W, raising the aircraft from 34,090 ft asl to 36,000 ft asl (1,910 ft) in 3 minutes over a further 29 nm.

Cruise was initiated 1 mile west of Langres (Grand Est, France) and persisted for 104 minutes, during which 853 nm were covered. A second cruise phase began at latitude 50.0250234 ° N, longitude -16.8333552 ° W, lasting 512 minutes and encompassing 4,185 nm.

Descent commenced 12 miles south of El Rama (Costa Caribe Sur, Nicaragua), with the aircraft descending from 36,000 ft asl to 4,345 ft asl, a loss of 31,654 ft in 22 minutes while covering 141 nm.

The final approach to runway 07 at MROC Juan Santamaría International Airport was flown from the south-west, on a heading of 69.0° at 4 nm and 1,348 ft agl.

Landing on runway 07 was executed with a runway length of 3,012 m; the threshold height of 58 ft agl and the threshold speed of 140 kt were slightly above target. Touchdown occurred 652 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 132 kt, with a vertical speed of 78 fpm. The total landing distance recorded was 2,026 m (67 % of runway).

Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 5,364 nm, required 674 minutes, and consumed 69,699 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 07 at MROC Juan Santamaría International Airport in the Airbus A350-900
Landing Score 95.25 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 executed a final approach to runway 07 at MROC Juan Santamaría International Airport from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 69.0° at 4 nm and 1,348 ft agl. Local conditions were 18 °C temperature, wind 1 kt from 270°, with a 0 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind. The overall landing received a score of 89.1 %.

During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft crossed the threshold at a height of 58 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and reduced speed to 140 kt, also slightly above target.

Touchdown occurred 652 m beyond the designated touchdown zone; the aircraft was travelling 132 kt, a little fast, but the vertical rate was perfect at 78 fpm and runway alignment was very good.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,026 m, representing 67 % of the 3,012 m runway, and the alignment during rollout remained very good.

Reduce the touchdown point distance by aiming to land within the touchdown zone and fine-tune the approach to bring threshold height and speed closer to target values.
