The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,326 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,326 ft of the 10,014 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,352 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A300 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KGSO Piedmont Triad International Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 05R, with a takeoff distance of 6,157 feet, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 90°F temperature and winds of 5 knots at 70°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of KGSO, where the aircraft ascended from 1,945 feet above sea level to 36,137 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,192 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Keokee, Virginia, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 67 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile south of 3KY2 Chesnut Knolls Airport in London, Kentucky, where it descended from 36,136 feet above sea level to 6,512 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,625 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
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.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 330 nautical miles, took 66 minutes, and used 13,151 pounds of fuel.
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.
