The Airbus A320 successfully landed at VQPR Paro International Airport, achieving a score of 93.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 153.0° at 1 nautical mile and 713 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 15, which has a length of 1,991 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 144 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly above the target speed, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to reduce the speed further during the approach. The touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 168°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,232 meters was 62% of the runway length, suggesting that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining to stop safely. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed. The pilots' ability to maintain a perfect runway touchdown alignment and a good runway rollout alignment were notable highlights of the landing.
