Landing Summary

The MD-82 aircraft has successfully completed a landing on runway 05 at Norfolk International Airport (KORF). Upon approaching the runway from the southwest at a heading of 38.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,240 feet above ground level, the aircraft demonstrated a high degree of proficiency in its final approach. The aircraft maintained a steady speed of 136 knots at the threshold, which is a well-regarded standard for safe landing practices.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited excellent performance. The touchdown distance of 341 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 126 knots was sufficiently slow to minimize the risk of damage or injury. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute was within the desired range, indicating a controlled descent and a high degree of control by the pilots.

While the aircraft did have a slight misalignment of 7.4 meters off the centerline upon touchdown, this was not a significant departure from acceptable standards. The local weather conditions, including a temperature of 20°C and winds of 29 knots at 10°, presented a moderate crosswind component of 13 knots and a headwind component of 25 knots.

The total landing distance of 992 meters, accounting for 41% of the runway, was respectable and demonstrated the aircraft's ability to stop safely within the available runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was exceptionally good, which is crucial for the safety and efficiency of post-landing procedures. Overall, the MD-82 aircraft's landing on runway 05 at KORF was characterized by a high level of precision and control.
