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.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 30 at Sharjah International Airport was flown from the south-east on a heading of 308.0° at 4 nm and 1,375 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the sink rate was too high.

During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and the threshold speed was good at 132 kt.

Touchdown occurred 1,533 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a good speed of 122 kt. The vertical rate at touchdown was smooth at minus 148 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The rollout was very good, with runway alignment maintained throughout and a total landing distance of 5,150 ft, representing 42 % of the 12,324 ft runway.

To convert the high sink rate into a stabilized approach, the crew should refine the descent profile to meet the 1,000 ft gate criteria, which will also help keep the touchdown point within the intended zone while preserving the excellent overall score.
