What went well

Touched down at -330 ft/m — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 50 ft and 146 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 0.54 m off the centreline, no bounce

Top opportunity

Fly the flare through

The four classic flare failures feel similar from the cockpit – most of them end in a firm arrival – but they leave different evidence, and two numbers are enough to separate them: how long the flare took (time from 50 ft to touchdown) and how hard the touchdown was. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel.

Landing on runway 16 at EGPD Aberdeen Dyce Airport in the Airbus A320
Landing Score 95.33 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EGPD Aberdeen Dyce Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 158.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 16, which has a length of 1,948 meters.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target speed of 147 knots. The touchdown point was 136 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.

The aircraft's touchdown rate was firm at -330 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.

The total landing distance was 1,189 meters, which represents 61% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the pilot's skill and experience were evident in the precision and control demonstrated during the landing.
