The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ZSNT Xingdong, achieving an overall score of 86.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 178.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,119 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, touching down on runway 18, which has a length of 2,405 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 135 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 380 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly below the expected value, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -567 feet per minute (fpm). This high touchdown rate could potentially cause discomfort for passengers and may require further investigation to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The landing was further complicated by the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6°C and wind speeds of 9 knots at 119°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
However, there were some areas for improvement. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues. The total landing distance of 1,321 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Nevertheless, the rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.3 meters from the centerline, indicating a potential issue with the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and rollout alignment. Further analysis and training may be necessary to address these issues and ensure that the pilot can execute a safe and efficient landing in a variety of weather conditions.
