Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,156 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,156 ft of the 12,045 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,675 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Queenstown International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 23, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after a takeoff distance of 4,291 feet, which represented 74% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots, and the aircraft climbed away from the airport into a local temperature of 61°F and a wind of 9 knots from 272°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Queenstown International Airport, marking the beginning of the enroute climb phase. The aircraft ascended from 2,027 feet above sea level to 38,990 feet, an increase of 36,963 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 140 nautical miles. Following a 43-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 347 nautical miles, the crew initiated the enroute descent phase. The aircraft descended from 38,832 feet to 1,321 feet, a decrease of 37,511 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 115 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft flying at 4 nautical miles and 1,293 feet above ground level.
The Airbus A320 landed on runway 23L at Auckland International Airport, touching down 316 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -192 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 4,897 feet, representing 45% of the available runway length. Following a short taxiing period of 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking area. The total flight distance was 612 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 97 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 8,154 pounds.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, maintaining a steady descent rate throughout the final stages of the approach. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering at 135 kt, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 127 kt.
The touchdown point was located 316 ft beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -192 fpm was good, suggesting a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 46 °F and a light wind of 2 kt at 340 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 4,897 ft, accounting for 45% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 99.2% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
