The flight in question involved an Airbus A320 aircraft taking off from LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport, located in Geneva, Switzerland. Taxiing from the parking to the runway took 10 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll from runway 04 commenced smoothly, and the takeoff distance was approximately 2,026 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway.

Upon takeoff, the aircraft achieved a liftoff speed of 159 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots, which was blowing at an angle of 227 degrees. Given the wind direction, the aircraft experienced a tailwind of 6 knots.

As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it leveled off at an altitude of 20,966 feet above sea level (asl). The climb, which started overhead Bellevue in Switzerland, covered a distance of 16 nautical miles and took approximately 8 minutes to complete. The aircraft then transitioned to a level cruise above Saint-Germain-sur-Rhone in France, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles in just 3 minutes.

The aircraft's subsequent climb, which began 1 mile east of Saint-Sorlin-en-Bugey, France, covered a distance of 69 nautical miles and took 11 minutes to complete. This climb saw the aircraft ascend to an altitude of 34,717 feet asl. After leveling off above Saint-Georges-Lagricol, France, the aircraft remained at that altitude for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 362 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles north of Molina de Aragon in Spain. This descent saw the aircraft lose 19,463 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a brief period above Hita, Spain, before commencing another descent.

The final descent, which started 3 miles northeast of Hita, Spain, saw the aircraft lose 12,046 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then lined up for a final approach to runway 18R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, heading north at an altitude of 1,338 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on runway 18R at a speed of 124 knots. However, the touchdown point was found to be 350 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was relatively hard, standing at -494 feet per minute. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots, blowing at an angle of 20 degrees.

The aircraft experienced some misalignment issues on the runway, both at the touchdown position and during the rollout. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking area after landing took 11 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was reported to be 560 nautical miles, taking approximately 1 hour and 17 minutes to complete. The aircraft consumed 4,370 kilograms of fuel throughout the duration of the flight.

Landing on runway 18R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 86.47 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question was an Airbus A320 that was attempting to land on runway 18R at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (LEMD). The final approach was made from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) above ground level (agl) at 1,338 feet. The aircraft successfully landed on the runway, but there were a few notable discrepancies in its landing procedure.

The aircraft had an initial threshold speed of 137 knots, which was considered good. However, the actual touchdown point was 350 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was recorded at 124 knots, also considered good. Unfortunately, the aircraft had a rather hard touchdown rate of -494 feet per minute (fpm), which indicates that the aircraft touched down with more force than necessary.

Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.2 meters from the centerline of the runway, which may have contributed to the aircraft experiencing a slightly hard touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively mild, with a temperature of 18 °C, and a gentle wind blowing at 5 knots from a direction of 20°.

Taking into account the wind conditions, the crosswind was minimal at 2 kt, while the tailwind was recorded at 5 kt. This is likely to have had a negligible impact on the aircraft's landing procedure. The total landing distance was recorded at 1,934 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to bring itself to a stop relatively quickly, given the available distance.

Finally, during the rollout phase, the runway alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline of the runway. This is a relatively minor deviation and did not appear to have any significant impact on the safety of the aircraft.

In conclusion, while the Airbus A320 was able to successfully land on runway 18R at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, there were a number of discrepancies in its landing procedure that warrant further investigation. The aircraft had a hard touchdown, a misaligned touchdown position, and a slightly misaligned rollout alignment. However, the overall performance of the aircraft was considered to be good, with a score of 86.5%.
