Landing on runway 22L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport in the Airbus A340-600

Landing Score 97.44 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A340-600 successfully landed on runway 22L at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 143 knots, which is within the acceptable range.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 974 feet, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate was firm at -389 feet per minute (fpm), which is consistent with a controlled landing.

One minor issue was observed during the landing, as the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centreline. This deviation may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position or a minor error in the pilot's navigation. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to quickly regain control of the aircraft and align it with the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°F and no wind. The absence of wind made the landing even more challenging, as the pilot had to rely solely on their skills and experience to navigate the aircraft safely onto the runway. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's performance was commendable, considering the challenging conditions.
