Final approach to runway 07L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport descended from 1,435 ft agl to 40 ft agl in 92 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; speed was not met at one gate. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,863 ft agl, 192 kt; final flap position 4 at 2,549 ft agl, 173 kt.

Landing on runway 07L (length 9,154 ft) had a threshold height of 59 ft agl, slightly above target, and a threshold speed of 162 kt, well above target. The flare was described as great; the aircraft dropped onto the runway at the end of the flare. Touchdown occurred 1,794 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 149 kt, a little fast, with a descent rate of minus 190 fpm. Touchdown position was misaligned by 35 ft from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 5,691 ft, 62 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 ft from the centreline.
