Landing on runway 20 at NFFN Nadi International Airport in the Airbus A350-900

Landing Score 75.05 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 aircraft successfully landed at Nadi International Airport, Fiji, on runway 20. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 212.0° at 1 nautical mile and 630 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 129 kt, registering at 129 kt. The touchdown point was 1,247 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, the touchdown speed of 117 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.

One of the notable issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 66 feet off the centreline. This could have been due to various factors, including wind conditions or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 2 kt at 108°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 kt and 1 kt, respectively.

The total landing distance of 5,200 feet was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This could be attributed to the long distance beyond the touchdown zone and the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position. The runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 102 feet from the centreline, which could have contributed to the overall landing distance.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of runway alignment and touchdown point distance. The pilots could have worked on maintaining a more precise approach and touchdown, which would have resulted in a shorter landing distance and better runway alignment.
