Landing on runway 04 at KSAT San Antonio International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 89.18 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04 at San Antonio International Airport (KSAT) with a score of 89.2%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's approach to the runway was generally good, with a threshold height above the target at 67 feet agl. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking or reverse thrust to slow the aircraft down more quickly. The touchdown distance of 362 meters was within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilots had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

One area for improvement was the touchdown rate, which was heavy at -658 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of force, which could potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers and potentially cause damage to the aircraft's landing gear. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' approach path.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 110°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which should have made the landing easier for the pilots. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the pilots demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, resulting in a successful touchdown on runway 04.
