Departure
Arrival
The flight began with an enroute climb from Drummoyne, a location in the State of New South Wales, Australia. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, started its ascent from an altitude of 1,668 feet above sea level and climbed to 1,244 feet above sea level, a gain of 424 feet in less than a minute. This climb covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 16R from the north. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 1,203 feet above ground level and was 4 nautical miles away from the runway. The aircraft was heading in a direction of 169.0 degrees.
Upon landing on runway 16R, which is 3,885 meters long, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 147 knots, which was considered fast. The touchdown point was 182 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 159 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 187 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,165 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The flight itself was relatively short, covering a total distance of 5 nautical miles and taking approximately 2 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 26 kilograms of fuel during this time.

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 16R. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 169.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,203 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was too high at 159 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly challenging landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 182 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 147 knots was faster than ideal, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -418 feet per minute (fpm). This may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and could have affected the overall safety of the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 5 knots from 187°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
Despite the minor deviations, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll. The total landing distance of 1,165 meters was 30% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of speed and alignment.
