Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Landing on runway 18L at KCLT Charlotte Douglas International Airport in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 94.43 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) on runway 18L, achieving a high score of 94.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 176.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 668 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this is not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -301 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled and stable landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and no wind. This made the landing process even smoother, as the aircraft was not affected by any crosswinds or headwinds. The total landing distance of 3,526 feet was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 28 feet off-centerline. While this is not a significant issue, it does indicate that the pilot may have needed to make some adjustments during the rollout phase to maintain alignment with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was considered good, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out without any major issues.
