Landing on runway 23 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 94.5 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, an A320-251N, successfully landed at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport with a high degree of precision. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely conducted under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) given the specific heading and distance from the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control and adherence to standard operating procedures. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 173 meters was also within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was consistent with the threshold speed, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and attention to detail.

However, the touchdown rate of -486 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher than optimal rate of descent. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the pilot's experience, or the specific weather conditions at the time of landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, which is relatively mild and unlikely to have significantly impacted the aircraft's performance. The runway length of 3,100 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.

The total landing distance of 1,312 meters, which accounts for 42% of the runway length, was within the expected range. This suggests that the aircraft's brakes were properly applied, and the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a controlled manner. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and adherence to standard operating procedures. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly longer than expected landing distance may warrant further investigation to identify areas for improvement.
