Landing on runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 76.13 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 41.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,051 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 178 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.

The touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly above the target speed, which could have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -1,006 feet per minute (fpm). This excessive rate of descent may have been due to the pilot's attempt to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, which could have been caused by a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. Despite these favorable conditions, the pilot still struggled to maintain a stable approach and landing.

The total landing distance of 1,084 meters was 47% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slowed down more quickly than expected, potentially due to the heavy touchdown rate. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centerline, which could have been caused by the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position deviation.

Overall, while the Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04R at KBOS Logan International Airport, the landing was not without its issues. The pilot's ability to maintain a stable approach and landing was compromised by a combination of factors, including a heavy touchdown rate and a misaligned touchdown position.
