The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 162 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Leinfelden-Echterdingen in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 696 meters above sea level to 5,788 meters above sea level, an increase of 5,092.6 meters, in just 7 minutes and covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile east of Mogglingen and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles.

The enroute descent began 1 mile west of Kirchdorf in the state of Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 15 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 5,788 meters above sea level to 763 meters above sea level, a decrease of 5,024.6 meters, and covered a distance of 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead Freilassing in Bavaria and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The final descent began overhead Salzburg in Austria and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 761 meters above sea level to 470 meters above sea level, a decrease of 291.1 meters, and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at LOWS Salzburg Airport, approaching from the southeast and heading 339.0 degrees at an altitude of 39.6 meters above ground level.

The landing took place on runway 33, which had a length of 2,312 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 141 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 255 meters, and the touchdown speed was 138 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -6.2 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 1,895 meters, which accounted for 82% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius. The total flight distance was 176 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used 1,574 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 33 at LOWS Salzburg Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 75.36 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft has successfully landed at LOWS Salzburg Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the south east, heading 339.0° at an altitude of 39.6 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's approach was well-executed in terms of speed, with a threshold speed of 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range.

However, the touchdown distance of 255 meters was slightly longer than expected, and the touchdown speed of 138 knots was also slightly higher than the target. The touchdown rate, which measures the rate at which the aircraft descends during landing, was very heavy at -6.2 meters per second. This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of force, which could potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers.

Another area of concern is the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline. This could potentially lead to issues with the aircraft's brakes and tires, as well as increased wear and tear on the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 17°C.

The total landing distance of 1,895 meters was 82% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centerline, which could potentially lead to issues with the aircraft's brakes and tires.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are several areas for improvement that need to be addressed to ensure a smoother and more efficient landing. These include reducing the touchdown speed and rate, improving the runway touchdown position, and ensuring that the runway rollout alignment is accurate.
