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.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 entered the final approach to runway 07L at VHHH from the south-west on a heading of 70.0° at 4 nm and 1,219 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits; ambient temperature was 79 °F, wind 2 kt from 69°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 2 kt.

At threshold the aircraft was above the target height, while the threshold speed of 133 kt was recorded as good.

Touchdown occurred 2,296 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 122 kt judged good and a vertical rate of -82 fpm described as excellent; the touchdown point was slightly off centreline by 12 ft.

Rollout used a total landing distance of 6,055 ft, representing 49 % of the 12,427 ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

With a final score of 95.2 % the landing was strong overall; refining the threshold height to meet the target and reducing the touchdown overshoot will bring the touchdown point closer to the intended aim point while preserving the excellent speed and rate performance.
