The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 25R at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,161 feet, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb after departing the airport, rising from an altitude of 2,125 feet above sea level to 3,388 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,263 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles south of Central City, Arizona. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 1 mile northeast of Guadalupe, Arizona. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,089 feet above sea level to 1,815 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,274 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 25R at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270.0° at an altitude of 679 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 10,270 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 133 knots.

The touchdown point was 606 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 253°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.

The total landing distance was 4,064 feet, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX) on runway 25R. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at 2 nautical miles and 679 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 128 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from 253°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.

The total landing distance of 4,064 feet was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were properly applied and the aircraft was brought to a stop in a controlled manner.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 97.9%. The slight deviations from the target threshold speed and touchdown speed were minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
