See Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing on runway 09 at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport in the Airbus A319
Landing Score 98.33 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,209 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 09, which has a length of 9,971 feet.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. This indicates that the pilots may have been slightly aggressive in their approach, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 1,124 feet, which is within the acceptable range.

However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a firm touchdown rate of -337 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may require the pilots to make adjustments in their approach to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, which may require the pilots to make adjustments in their landing technique to achieve a more precise touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 120°.

The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. The total landing distance was 5,717 feet, which is 57% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good control and precision in their approach and touchdown. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as achieving a more optimal touchdown speed and improving the accuracy of the runway touchdown position.
