The flight began with a departure roll from runway 07 at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport. The Airbus A320 took off after a distance of 1,388 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 155 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 07. The distance covered during this phase was 1 nautical mile in 25 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was also from runway 07, and the aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 8 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was completed with a distance of 2 nautical miles, and the angle to the runway was 35.4 degrees. The pattern downwind leg was also completed with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 8 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was completed with a distance of 2 nautical miles, and the angle to the runway was 170.5 degrees. The aircraft then landed on runway 25 at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, which had a length of 3,198 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 151 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 327 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 148 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -525 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,581 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 48.6 meters from the centerline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used 91 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25 at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, but the landing performance was not ideal. The threshold speed was significantly higher than the target speed, coming in at 151 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot decision.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 148 kt, which is considered fast. This high speed resulted in a very hard touchdown rate of -525 fpm, indicating that the aircraft's wheels hit the ground with considerable force. The touchdown distance of 327 m was within acceptable limits, but the high speed and hard touchdown rate may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.

The runway touchdown position was also not ideal, as the aircraft was 9.7 m off the centreline. This misalignment may have been due to crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt.

The total landing distance of 1,581 m was 49% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 48.6 m from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft's wheels were not tracking the centreline of the runway during the rollout phase. This misalignment may have been due to a combination of factors, including pilot error, crosswind, or aircraft performance.

Overall, while the Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25, the landing performance was not ideal, and there were several areas for improvement. The high touchdown speed, hard touchdown rate, and misaligned runway touchdown position and rollout alignment all contributed to a less-than-ideal landing.
