Landing on runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 82.71 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 81.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,393 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown distance of 310 meters was considered good.

However, the touchdown speed of 147 knots was faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -663 feet per minute (fpm) was also heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a significant amount of deceleration upon touchdown. This could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially caused some vibration.

In addition to the issues with touchdown speed and rate, the runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline. This could have made it more difficult for the pilot to control the aircraft during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline, which could have further complicated the pilot's task.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 90°. This suggests that the wind was not a significant factor in the landing, and the pilot should have been able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.

Overall, the landing was scored 82.7%, indicating that while it was not perfect, it was still a successful landing. However, the issues with touchdown speed, rate, and alignment suggest that the pilot may need to work on improving their landing technique to achieve a more consistent and controlled touchdown.
