Landing on runway 29 at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 93.19 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR) on runway 29, achieving a score of 93.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 275.0° at 1 nautical mile and 279 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 within the acceptable range at 137 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -394 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown distance of 364 meters was considered good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from 342°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft's landing distance of 1,010 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.8 meters from the centerline. These minor deviations from the centerline may have been due to the crosswind and headwind conditions, which can affect the aircraft's directional control during landing.

Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at KEWR was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
