The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 34L at Denver International Airport, a movement that lasted eight minutes and covered two nautical miles.

During the departure roll on runway 34L, the aircraft used 9,892 ft of runway, representing 62 % of the available length, and lifted off at 172 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 80 °F with a wind of 4 kt from 250°, including a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.

Climb commenced two miles north of Denver, with the airplane accelerating from 6,347 ft asl to 35,999 ft asl, an altitude gain of 29,653 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 126 nm.

Level cruise began eight miles northeast of Chacra and continued for 78 minutes, during which the flight covered 556 nm at the assigned cruise altitude.

Descent was initiated five miles north of June Lake, descending from 35,904 ft asl to 808 ft asl, a loss of 35,096 ft over 30 minutes and a distance of 159 nm.

The final approach to runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport was flown from the southeast on a heading of 297.0°, with the aircraft established at two nautical miles and 787 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 61 °F, wind 9 kt from 291°, a 1 kt cross-wind and an 8 kt head-wind component.

Landing on runway 28R, which is 11,537 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 1,366 ft down the runway at a speed of 130 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 294 fpm and a lateral deviation of 14 ft from the centreline. The runway touchdown position was noted as slightly misaligned.

Landing on runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 96.91 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 approached runway 28R at KSFO from the south-east on a heading of 297.0° at 2 nm and 787 ft AGL, with temperature 61 °F, wind 9 kt from 291°, a 1 kt crosswind component and an 8 kt head-wind component. The final approach was stabilized and the threshold height was good, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 140 kt.

During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained the slightly high threshold speed of 140 kt, and the flare was executed with the good threshold height previously noted.

Touchdown occurred 1,366 ft down the runway; the touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast and the vertical rate was fair at minus 294 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 14 ft from the centreline.

The rollout covered a total distance of 4,409 ft, representing 38 % of the 11,537 ft runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.

Refine the approach to achieve the target threshold speed and manage the flare to reduce touchdown speed and vertical rate, which will bring the touchdown parameters closer to the desired values while preserving the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
