Landing on runway 13L at KDAL Dallas Love Field in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 98.29 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320-214 aircraft successfully landed at Dallas Love Field (KDAL) on runway 13L, achieving a score of 98.3%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 136.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 56 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 146 knots, indicating a slightly aggressive approach. The touchdown point was 171 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.

The touchdown speed of 139 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable, despite the slightly high touchdown speed. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.

The total landing distance was 1,512 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and controlled during the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability during the approach and touchdown.
