The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,504 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,412 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Miami International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 3,895 feet, which was 37% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 83°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Virginia Gardens, Florida, and took the aircraft from 1,050 feet above sea level to 38,194 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,143 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 7 miles south of Captiva, Florida, and lasted for 118 minutes, covering a distance of 746 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles west of Cinco Ranch, Texas, and descended from 38,279 feet above sea level to 6,031 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,248 feet in 35 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 2 miles east of Timberwood Park, Texas, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles west of Timberwood Park, and the aircraft descended from 5,992 feet above sea level to 3,996 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,997 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles west of Hill Country Village, Texas, and lasting for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13R at San Antonio International Airport began from the northwest, heading 132.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,293 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 13R, which was 8,504 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 121 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,412 feet, and the touchdown speed was 113 knots, both of which were good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -264 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 61°F temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 136°.
The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 3,329 feet, which was 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,013 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 204 minutes. The aircraft used 15,258 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at San Antonio International Airport (KSAT) on runway 13R, achieving a high score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 121 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,412 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 113 knots was within the recommended range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a gentle headwind of 6 knots at 136°. The crosswind component was negligible, which made the landing even more manageable. The total landing distance of 3,329 feet was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The most impressive aspect of the landing was the runway rollout alignment, which was perfect. This indicates that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's brakes and was able to bring the plane to a stop in a straight line, without any deviation from the centerline. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
