Stabilised approach
The approach, gate by gate
Where the wheels went down
Side view — the last 1,553 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,553 m of the 1,948 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 478 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
1.10 points lost
Biggest loss first. Every scored stage counts equally within its phase, and the phases equally in the flight score — so each amount is exact, not an estimate.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH), with a takeoff distance of 1,251 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 107 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the tailwind was also 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Ratho Station, where the aircraft ascended from 1,139 feet above sea level to 6,136 feet, an increase of 4,997 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile north of Bridgend, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 6,141 feet to 10,225 feet, an increase of 4,084 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south east of Dunning, lasting 9 minutes and covering 45 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its descent 7 miles north west of Edzell, descending from 10,299 feet to 1,496 feet in 10 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 16 at Aberdeen Dyce Airport (EGPD) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 158.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a touchdown point 59 meters beyond the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 190 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,470 meters, accounting for 75% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 105 nautical miles, taking 39 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,419 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EGPD Aberdeen Dyce Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 158.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 59 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not significantly so. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -132 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 1,470 meters was 75% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 12.2 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the pilot's slight overcorrection or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was impressive, and the landing was executed safely and efficiently.
