The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 319.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). This final approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the good threshold height and very good runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed, registering at 144 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 1,260 feet was within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the aircraft's rate of descent at -285 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting a moderate rate of deceleration.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 45°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from 360°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 4,326 feet was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The most notable aspect of this landing was the perfect runway rollout alignment, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the plane to come to a stop in a straight line. Overall, this landing demonstrates the exceptional skills of the pilot and the capabilities of the Airbus A320, showcasing a high level of precision, control, and safety.
