Landing on runway 04 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 86.25 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 64 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied the brakes slightly too late or not enough. The touchdown rate of -1,058 feet per minute (fpm) was also very heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have been subjected to a significant amount of deceleration force upon touchdown.

The threshold height at 68 feet agl was above the target, and the threshold speed of 147 knots was well above the target speed, indicating that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or had too much speed upon reaching the threshold. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the runway alignment.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly faster touchdown speed.

Despite some deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and align it with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,406 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a commercial airliner. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, it was still a safe and successful operation.
