What went well

Touched down at -155 ft/m — a soft arrival
Touchdown 1,352 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 32 ft and 133 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Nothing — every scored stage stayed inside its band. Clean flight.

Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Elk Creek, Kentucky, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent overhead Prospect, Kentucky, where it descended from 6,360 feet above sea level to 1,706 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,654 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 17R at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 166.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,210 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 17R, which had a length of 10,014 feet, was successful, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 134 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,359 feet, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was good at -156 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 86°F temperature and winds of 3 knots at 100°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 5,069 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing report
Landing on runway 17R at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in the Airbus A300
Landing Score 99.88 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A300 successfully landed on runway 17R at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, achieving a score of 99.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 166.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,210 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 134 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 86°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.

The total landing distance of 5,069 feet was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown on the runway. The score of 99.9% reflects the high level of proficiency and safety achieved during this landing.
