The Airbus A320 taxied to runway 28 at KNGU Norfolk Naval Station and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a takeoff run of 1,569 m, representing 70 % of the runway, at a liftoff speed of 154 kt. Local conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 16 kt from 226°, a cross-wind component of 11 kt and a head-wind component of 12 kt.

Climb began overhead KNGU, with the airplane ascending from 327 ft asl to 14,000 ft asl, a gain of 13,673 ft achieved in 8 minutes while covering 54 nm.

Cruise commenced 7 nm east of W96 New Kent Co Quinton and was maintained for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 34 nm at level flight.

Descent was initiated 6 nm south-east of Bowling Green, reducing altitude from 14,000 ft asl to 1,308 ft asl, a loss of 12,692 ft in 9 minutes and encompassing 52 nm.

The final approach to runway 01 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was flown from the south on a heading of 356.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,285 ft agl.

Landing occurred on runway 01, whose length is 2,186 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 137 kt, and touchdown was recorded 131 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 131 kt. The touchdown rate was minus 271 fpm and runway alignment was perfect. Weather at the time matched departure conditions: 15 °C, wind 16 kt from 226°, a cross-wind of 12 kt and a tail-wind component of 10 kt.

Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 1,372 m, representing 63 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.

In summary, the flight covered 144 nm, required 24 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 01 at KDCA was flown from the south on a heading of 356.0° at 4 nm and 1,285 ft agl, with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 16 kt from 226°, a 12 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt tail-wind component.

The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 137 kt.

Touchdown occurred 131 m beyond the touchdown zone; the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 kt and the touchdown rate was fair at minus 271 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,372 m, representing 63 % of the 2,186 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

Reduce the approach speed to the target VREF to eliminate the slight excess and aim for the standard aim point about 300 m (1,000 ft) down the runway to keep touchdown within the designated zone.
