This flight was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,666 feet above sea level (asl) over the suburb of Drummoyne in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The aircraft quickly ascended to 1,776 ft asl, a gain of 110 ft in less than a minute, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This rapid climb demonstrated the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude in a short period.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 16R at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY). The approach was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 170.0° at an altitude of 1,760 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, preparing for a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 16R, which has a length of 3,885 meters. The threshold height at 78 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft had a considerable amount of altitude to spare upon touchdown. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 140 knots, but the touchdown distance of 204 meters was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -1,389 feet per minute was very heavy.
Despite these minor issues, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 188°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots, providing a favorable wind condition for the landing.
The total landing distance of 778 meters was 20% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to stop efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable course during the rollout phase. Overall, the flight was completed in a distance of 5 nautical miles, taking approximately 2 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 29 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 16R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, achieving an overall score of 84.7%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the north, heading 170.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,760 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 136 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 204 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -1,389 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed very heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 188°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, which contributed to a very good runway touchdown alignment. The aircraft's rollout alignment after touchdown was also considered very good, indicating a smooth and controlled transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 778 meters was 20% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and a very good runway touchdown alignment. However, the heavy touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed may require further attention to optimize the landing performance.
