Landing on runway 29R at KTUS Tucson International Airport in the Airbus A319

Landing Score 85.28 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at KTUS Tucson International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 315.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,579 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 29R, which has a length of 3,351 meters.

The threshold height at 76 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed of 138 knots was also above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling faster than necessary when reaching the threshold. The touchdown point was 344 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a considerable distance from the ideal landing spot.

The touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -357 feet per minute (fpm). Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 37°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 298°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's higher-than-desired threshold speed.

The total landing distance of 2,083 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-center.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed, achieving a more precise touchdown point, and aligning the runway rollout with the centerline.
