Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

As the aircraft began its descent, it started from 1 mile west of Saint-Germain-de-Princay, France, descending from 36,785 feet above sea level to 2,994 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,791 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began again overhead Artigues-pres-Bordeaux, France, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.

The aircraft continued its descent, starting from overhead Saint-Louis-de-Montferrand, France, descending from 3,058 feet above sea level to 1,490 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,568 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 23 at Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport (LFBD) was made from the northeast, with a heading of 225.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,320 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 173 meters, a touchdown speed of 132 knots, and a touchdown rate of -486 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius.

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.
