What went well

Touched down at -333 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 1,085 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 27 ft and 126 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Landing Bounce at 80 %, −0.19 points

Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 122 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 333 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

This flight took off from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, where the aircraft, an Airbus A319, began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a distance of 2 nautical miles covered in 8 minutes.

Upon departure, the aircraft rolled down runway 22L, with a takeoff distance of 4,878 feet, which accounted for 61 percent of the runway. It achieved liftoff at a speed of 147 knots. The weather conditions at the time were favorable, with a temperature of 69 degrees Fahrenheit and no wind.

After a successful takeoff, the aircraft initiated its ascent, starting to climb 1 mile southeast of Bensenville, Illinois. It climbed from an altitude of 1,694 feet above sea level to 37,729 feet, an increase of 36,035 feet in just 19 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 121 nautical miles.

Following its ascent, the aircraft levelled off and entered into a cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Hildreth Air Park in Sidell, Illinois. This cruise phase lasted for an impressive 36 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 275 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its descent from an altitude of 38,162 feet to 3,541 feet, a decrease of 34,621 feet in 16 minutes, and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles. This descent started 6 miles northeast of Lawrenceburg-Lawrence County Airport in Tennessee.

After a short level cruise phase in the vicinity of Kimberly, Alabama, the aircraft initiated another descent phase, this time from 3,046 feet above sea level to 2,593 feet, resulting in a decrease of 453 feet in just 2 minutes, and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

Subsequent level cruise phases, one lasting for 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, occurred while the aircraft flew overhead McDonald Chapel in Alabama.

The final approach and landing were made on runway 06 at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, located in Alabama. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 55.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,197 feet above ground level.

The aircraft made a successful landing on runway 06, with an excellent threshold speed of 126 knots, touchdown distance of 1,081 feet, and touchdown speed of 121 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute was relatively low, indicating a slightly long landing.

In total, the flight landed on runway 06 at a distance of 4,539 feet, which accounted for 42 percent of the runway length of 10,787 feet. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 518 nautical miles, which the aircraft covered in 91 minutes, using 7,698 pounds of fuel during the journey.

Landing Summary

An Airbus A319 has successfully landed at KBHM Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, aligning itself with the desired heading of 55.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,197 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). This positioning allowed for a precise final approach, setting the stage for a successful touchdown.

Upon completion of the final approach, the aircraft landed on runway 06, which has an extensive length of 10,787 feet. This runway proved to be more than sufficient for the Airbus A319, with a total landing distance of 4,539 feet being recorded. This represents only 42% of the runway's length, indicating an adequate amount of available runway for stopping.

The threshold height was deemed satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 126 knots was maintained throughout the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,081 feet was also well within expectations, while the touchdown speed of 121 knots was right on target.

However, there is room for improvement in terms of the touchdown rate, which was reported to be fair at -273 feet per minute (fpm). This may be a result of the aircraft touching down slightly harder than required, which could potentially have an impact on passenger comfort and equipment fatigue.

One positive aspect of this landing was the excellent runway touchdown alignment, which was deemed to be very good. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, allowing the aircraft to maintain a steady and controlled rate of braking while transitioning off the runway.

Weather conditions were favorable during the landing, with a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and a relatively weak wind of 2 knots from 139 degrees. The absence of a significant head or tailwind meant that crosswind corrections were minimal, making the landing process even smoother.

Overall, this landing by the Airbus A319 was a success, with many of the critical parameters being met or exceeded. While there is some room for improvement, particularly with regards to the touchdown rate, this landing demonstrates the capabilities of the aircraft and the skill of the pilots involved.
