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 Airbus A320ceo approached runway 26 at NCRG Rarotonga International Airport from the east on a heading of 270.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,267 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 21 °C with wind 4 kt from 110°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt tail-wind component.

At threshold the aircraft crossed at a speed of 141 kt, slightly above the target, and the threshold height was good. The flare was executed in line with the approach parameters.

Touchdown occurred 264 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 131 kt, which was good, and a touchdown rate of minus 224 fpm, rated fair. Runway touchdown alignment was very good and the total landing distance was 1,436 m, representing 65 % of the runway length.

Runway rollout alignment was perfect throughout the deceleration phase.

The primary areas for refinement are the slightly high threshold speed of 141 kt and the touchdown rate of minus 224 fpm; targeting the exact threshold speed and a slightly shallower sink rate will bring these parameters fully within the optimal range.

Flare

The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 679 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.
