The aircraft in question was an Airbus A320. It started its journey from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP), where it took off from runway 12L after a short taxi time of 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots, with the takeoff distance being 63% of the total runway length.

As it departed, the local weather conditions were 25°C with a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 130 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 7 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, and reaching an altitude of 36,745 feet above sea level within 15 minutes, a climb of 35,021 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 134 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 39 minutes and took it over 1,024 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb enroute, starting north east of the Silva Bay in British Columbia, Canada, which lasted only 2 minutes and covered a short distance of 4 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a descent phase, beginning 9 miles south of Bowen Island in British Columbia, Canada. This descent lasted for 2 minutes and resulted in a decrease of 1,580 feet in altitude, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. It then levelled out briefly before entering the final descent for the approach to Vancouver International Airport (CYVR).

The final approach was made to runway 08L from the west, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level and a heading of 100 degrees for 4 nautical miles. The landing conditions at CYVR were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 15 knots, and a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 15 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 130 knots, slightly above the target speed, and slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 280 meters down the runway. The touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, but the rollout alignment was very good.

The total landing distance on runway 08L was 1,547 meters, just 55% of the total runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 3 minutes, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. In total, the flight distance was 1,288 nautical miles, taking 89 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,858 kilograms of fuel throughout the journey.

Landing on runway 08L at CYVR Vancouver International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 93.09 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 has successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport, although with a few minor discrepancies. The plane, in its final approach to Runway 08L, came from the west, aligning itself with a heading of 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The pilots managed to navigate the aircraft to a safe landing on the designated runway, which has a length of 2,803 meters.

However, the threshold height of the runway was slightly above the target altitude at 59 feet agl. This may be a result of the pilots' attempt to make up for the slight headwind that was present during the landing. The headwind speed was recorded as 15 kt, while the crosswind speed was negligible at 3 kt. This was likely a challenge for the pilots, who managed to adjust the aircraft's speed accordingly, with a touchdown speed of 130 kt, which was slightly above the target. The touchdown rate, which measures the rate of descent, was fair at -201 feet per minute (fpm).

Upon touchdown, the aircraft overshot the designated touchdown zone by 280 meters, leaving a total landing distance of 1,547 meters, or 55% of the runway length. This was a result of the pilots' inability to slow down the aircraft quickly enough, likely due to the high headwind. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which may be a result of the pilots' difficulty in controlling the aircraft's speed and direction during the landing. Nevertheless, the pilots demonstrated their expertise by maintaining excellent runway rollout alignment, ensuring a safe and controlled stopping of the aircraft.

Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at CYVR Vancouver International Airport was a minor challenge for the pilots, with some minor discrepancies in terms of speed and alignment. However, the pilots' experience and expertise ultimately resulted in a safe and controlled landing.
