The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,859 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,859 ft of the 9,013 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 996 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 01L at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The takeoff distance was 4,155 feet, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 51°F and winds of 3 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. After departing from KSFO, the enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,018 feet above sea level to 21,365 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,347 feet in 8 minutes and covering 43 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles west of Rio Vista Municipal Airport (O88) and lasted 11 minutes, covering 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 6 miles northeast of Foresthill, California, descending from 21,345 feet above sea level to 5,818 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,527 feet in 12 minutes and covering 52 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17R at Reno Tahoe International Airport (KRNO) was made from the north, heading 180.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,384 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 17R, which had a length of 9,013 feet, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 1,002 feet. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -154 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at KRNO were a temperature of 39°F and winds of 0 knots at 359°, with no crosswind or headwind. The total landing distance was 5,606 feet, accounting for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 175 nautical miles, taking 40 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,774 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KRNO Reno Tahoe International Airport, achieving a score of 99.9%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,384 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 17R, which has a length of 9,013 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 136 kt, which is a minor deviation. The touchdown distance of 1,002 feet was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast, which may indicate that the aircraft could have been slowed down slightly before touchdown. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -154 fpm was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 0 kt from 359°. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 kt, making the landing even more challenging. The total landing distance of 5,606 feet was 62% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, which is essential for safe and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway.
