Landing on runway 16 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A319

Landing Score 98.34 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,210 feet above ground level.

The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 131 knots. The touchdown distance of 317 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -377 feet per minute was firm but not excessive.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot, which made the landing even more challenging and impressive.
