Takeoff on runway at in the Airbus A320

Landing on runway 17R at KSMF Sacramento International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 99.6 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Sacramento International Airport (KSMF) on runway 17R, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,192 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot executed a precise final approach, touching down on the runway with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 134 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 1,080 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 131 knots was also good.

However, the touchdown rate of -257 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were hot, with a temperature of 92°F. This may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing performance.

The total landing distance of 3,256 feet was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and touchdown. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the overall performance was excellent, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely and efficiently.
