Landing on runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport in the Airbus A340-600

Landing Score 97.7 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A340-600 successfully landed on runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level (agl). This precise final approach was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 141 knots, which was well within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 1,028 feet was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was spot on, further emphasizing the pilot's expertise in navigating the aircraft to a safe landing.

The touchdown rate of -329 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively harsh, suggesting a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is crucial for safe and efficient landing operations.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35°F, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing performance of the aircraft. The total landing distance of 3,350 feet was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. This is an important aspect of landing operations, as it helps to ensure that the aircraft remains on the runway and does not veer off course.
