The departure roll took place on runway 01, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,269 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 24 knots coming from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 20 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the Washington Potomac Washington area, where it climbed from an altitude of 988 feet above sea level to 36,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,023 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 3 miles west of the Seven Springs area in Pennsylvania, lasting 29 minutes and covering a distance of 609 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of the Strum Airport in Wisconsin, where it descended from an altitude of 34,966 feet above sea level to 4,010 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,956 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started again, this time overhead the Crystal Airport in Minneapolis, Minnesota, lasting only 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead the Eastmans Medicine Lake Seaplane Base in Plymouth, Minnesota, where it descended from an altitude of 4,006 feet above sea level to 2,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,703 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 12L at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 121.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,465 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 12L, which had a length of 2,432 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 137 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 390 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -410 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius.

The total landing distance was 1,435 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 12L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 97.23 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 12L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,465 feet above ground level (agl).

The final approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 390 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -410 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. Despite this, the pilot managed to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.

The total landing distance of 1,435 meters was 59% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a stop safely. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft meeting most of the target parameters. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed suggest that the pilot may have been able to improve the landing performance with further refinement of their technique.
