Landing on runway 23R at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 98.5 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 23R at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,330 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 recorded at 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 362 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -362 feet per minute (fpm).

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 124°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging.

The total landing distance of 1,410 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had made a smooth and controlled approach, and the aircraft's brakes were able to slow it down efficiently during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled descent during the landing phase.

Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 23R at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 98.5% reflects the pilot's skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft safely and efficiently.
