Flight narrative

Departing from O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, the Airbus A350-1000 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 03L, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 2,018 meters, which was 46% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a liftoff speed of 164 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a gentle wind of 3 knots at 309°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind.

As the aircraft climbed out of Johannesburg, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 34,999 feet above sea level in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 189 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise phase, which lasted for 126 minutes and covered 1,047 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 35,001 feet to 37,007 feet, in just 3 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles. The level cruise phase that followed lasted for 189 minutes and covered 1,513 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with a final climb phase from 37,000 feet to 39,001 feet, in 3 minutes, covering 28 nautical miles. The level cruise phase that followed lasted for 97 minutes and covered 791 nautical miles.

As the aircraft began its descent into Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, it started its descent from 39,000 feet above sea level to 1,337 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,664 feet, in 27 minutes, covering 159 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34R was made from the south-east, with a heading of 338.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,314 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a total landing distance of 1,579 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, but the touchdown rate was firm at -353 feet per minute. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,764 nautical miles, taking 482 minutes, and the aircraft used 52,518 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 34R at OTHH Hamad International Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -353 fpm, slightly above the target rate. The touchdown speed of 138 kt was also a little fast, but the pilot managed to maintain a very good runway touchdown alignment. The touchdown point was 112 m beyond the touchdown zone, which was a minor deviation from the ideal landing spot.

The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent from 1,314 ft agl at 4 nm from the runway. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 140 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 45 °C and a headwind of 6 kt, presented a challenging environment for the landing. However, the pilot's skills and experience allowed for a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The rollout phase was flawless, with perfect alignment on the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,579 m was 33% of the runway length, which was a respectable achievement considering the challenging weather conditions. Overall, the landing was scored 96.2%, a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The landing was a credit to the crew's professionalism and attention to detail, and it demonstrated their ability to handle a variety of challenging scenarios.
