The rest of the report
The aircraft flown was an Airbus A319. The taxiing from the parking to the runway took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08 at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 7,990 feet, which accounts for 67% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting from 3 miles east of KDEN Denver International Airport. It climbed from an altitude of 6,301 feet above sea level to 37,155 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,853 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 131 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, commencing 9 miles south of 8NE3 Smith Field Champion in Nebraska. The cruise lasted for 53 minutes and covered a distance of 480 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent 2 miles north of Strawberry Point in Iowa. It descended from an altitude of 36,764 feet to 2,076 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,688 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 102 nautical miles.
The aircraft then initiated its final approach to runway 32 at KMSN Dane County Regional Truax Field from the southeast, with a heading of 316.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,200 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a distance of 1,330 feet, which accounted for 67% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, and the touchdown rate was slightly below average at -258 feet per minute.
The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline, but its runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 56 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 239 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were 3 and 1 knots, respectively.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 723 nautical miles, covering approximately 101 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,530 pounds of fuel during the flight.
On this particular landing of the Airbus A319, the pilot achieved a score of 97.7%. The aircraft's final approach to runway 32 at Dane County Regional Truax Field, KMSN, came from the south east at a heading of 316.0° and was at a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) with an altitude of 1,200 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was completed successfully on the 5,358-foot runway, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 124 knots (kt) recorded. The touchdown distance was 1,330 feet, within expected parameters. The touchdown speed was also satisfactory at 119 kt, with a gentle descent rate of -258 feet per minute (fpm) at touchdown.
Despite achieving several positive metrics, the touchdown position on the runway was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline. However, the local weather conditions posed minimal impact on the landing, with a temperature of 56°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots (kt) at 239°. The aircraft experienced a small crosswind of 3 kt and a moderate headwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance was 3,577 feet, which equated to 67% of the available runway length. Following the touchdown, the runway rollout alignment was exceptionally good, showcasing the pilot's expertise in bringing the aircraft to a stable stop.
Overall, despite some minor deviations, the Airbus A319's landing demonstrated the pilot's ability to navigate safely and efficiently, with the aircraft coming to rest within the desired parameters.
