Top opportunity

Keep the approach speed on target

Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Landing on runway XX at 1 mile east of Canical (Madeira, Portugal) in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 58.1 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A32NX aircraft successfully landed on the ground 1 mile east of Canical in Madeira, Portugal. The final approach was initiated from a distance of 1 nautical mile, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 47 feet above ground level (agl) to touch down safely. The descent was quite steep, with a decrease of 49 feet in just 1 second, indicating a rapid loss of altitude.

Upon approaching the touchdown point, the aircraft's speed was 65 knots, which was considered good for a safe landing. However, the touchdown rate was extremely heavy, with a rate of -1,692 feet per minute (fpm). This high rate of descent suggests that the aircraft may have been experiencing a significant amount of drag or that the pilot may have been attempting to touch down quickly. Fortunately, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 66 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 339 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate, as the pilot may have been attempting to compensate for the wind.

Following the touchdown, the aircraft's landing rollout was relatively short, covering a distance of 46 meters. The aircraft's altitude was at 0 feet above sea level (asl) during this phase of the landing, indicating a safe and controlled rollout. Overall, the landing was successful, but the heavy touchdown rate may be a concern for future flights.
