Landing on runway 24L at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 92.03 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach to runway 24L was initiated from the north east, heading 244.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,490 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 129 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 136 kt. However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a descent rate of -483 fpm. This may indicate that the pilots could have applied a smoother touchdown, but it did not compromise the overall safety of the landing.

The touchdown point was located 60 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, which could be attributed to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment during the landing roll. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 5 kt, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,182 meters was 33% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention from the pilots to maintain a more precise alignment during future landings.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 92.0%. While there were some minor deviations in the touchdown point and runway alignment, the pilots demonstrated good control and adherence to standard procedures, ensuring a safe and efficient landing.
