Landing on runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 99.56 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 135 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. The touchdown distance of 1,520 ft was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled and stable approach.

However, the touchdown speed of 129 kt was slightly above the recommended range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -245 fpm. This may have been due to the pilot's attempt to maintain a stable approach despite the presence of a 6 kt crosswind and 5 kt headwind. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway, a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 4,665 ft, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 99.6% reflecting the pilot's exceptional skill and attention to detail.
