This process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 18R, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 4,538 feet, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of KMEM, it encountered local weather conditions of 34°F temperature and winds of 11 knots at 319°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 9 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of KMEM and continued for 26 minutes, covering a distance of 228 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,368 feet above sea level to 32,481 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,113 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles north of TN85 Hogue Airport in Spencer, Tennessee. This phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 243 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles east of Lewisville, North Carolina, and continued for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 32,839 feet above sea level to 3,008 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,831 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of NC40 Holeman Field in Roxboro, North Carolina.

Landing on runway 23L at KGSO Piedmont Triad International Airport in the Airbus A300

Landing Score 97.57 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A300 successfully landed at Piedmont Triad International Airport (KGSO) on runway 23L, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,133 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 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed at 134 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking or reverse thrust to slow down the aircraft. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indication of the pilot's control and ability to manage the aircraft's descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°F and a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 229°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.

The total landing distance of 6,748 feet was 68% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and braking performance.
