Landing on runway 17L at KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 90.02 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 17L at KCOS City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 90.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,827 feet above ground level (agl).

The final approach to the runway was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 146 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for the landing.

The touchdown distance of 197 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land smoothly. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a heavier touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -685 feet per minute (fpm) was indeed heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have been experiencing a bit of a hard landing.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.0 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly off-centre. Despite this, the landing was still considered successful.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 180°. This resulted in a headwind of 6 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's higher touchdown speed. The crosswind component was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots. Overall, the landing was considered successful, despite a few minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, and the slight misalignment from the centreline.
