Landing on runway 33 at LOWS Salzburg Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 96.92 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 approached runway 33 at LOWS Salzburg Airport from the south-east on a heading of 338.0° at one nautical mile out, descending to 309 ft AGL while the local temperature was 30 °C, wind 2 kt from 310°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and the threshold speed was good at 137 kt.

Touchdown occurred 360 m down the runway at a speed of 131 kt, noted as a little fast, with a firm vertical rate of minus 300 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.

The rollout was very good in alignment, and the total landing distance used was 1,894 m, representing 75 % of the 2,509 m runway length.

To refine an already high score of 96.9 %, a slight reduction in touchdown speed and a smoother flare to lessen the firm rate would further optimise the landing.
