Landing on runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 98.83 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 319.0° at 2 nautical miles and 617 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.

Upon landing on runway 31L, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and stable touchdown. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land smoothly. The touchdown distance of 441 meters was also good, suggesting that the aircraft had slowed down effectively before touching down on the runway.

However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly higher than expected, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -296 feet per minute (fpm). While this is not ideal, it is still considered fair and did not compromise the safety of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway and was on track to land safely.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C. This suggests that the aircraft was not affected by any adverse weather conditions that could have impacted the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,104 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the length of the runway. This indicates that the aircraft had slowed down effectively and was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft had maintained control and was able to roll out smoothly after touchdown.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 98.8% reflects the pilot's skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft safely and efficiently.
