Landing on runway 23 at KDSM Des Moines International Airport in the Airbus A320
Landing Score 92.03 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at KDSM Des Moines International Airport, a 8,969-foot-long runway, after a final approach from the north east, heading 234.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,354 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height, although the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots. This minor deviation from the ideal speed did not significantly impact the subsequent phases of the landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 131 knots, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 628 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, indicating a minor loss of directional control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 63°F and a 13-knot wind at 190°, contributed to a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.

The total landing distance of 3,984 feet was 44% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline, indicating a minor loss of directional control during the rollout phase. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 92.0%.
