The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at VQPR Paro International Airport, but the landing was not without some notable issues. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the south east, heading 324.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,914 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway length.
The threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 154 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling at a higher speed than necessary when reaching the threshold. This could be a contributing factor to the long touchdown point.
The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -406 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft was experiencing a significant deceleration upon touchdown, which could be a concern for the safety of the passengers and crew. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future landings.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 179°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, and the tailwind was 2 kt, which suggests that the wind conditions were not a significant factor in the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,627 meters, which is 82% of the available runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, and it may be necessary to review the aircraft's approach and landing procedures to determine the cause of the long touchdown point. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and stability during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas that require attention to ensure that future landings are safer and more efficient.
