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 Score 53.57 %
Landing Summary

Overall, your aircraft landing score of 53.6% indicates that there were both strengths and areas for improvement during the landing process.

Starting with the Approach Phase, it is noted that there were issues with the descent path being above the glideslope limit and poor heading alignment. These factors can affect the overall stability and accuracy of the landing process. Additionally, the excessively high threshold speed of 117 knots can impact the smoothness of the touchdown.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is positive to see that the threshold height was good. However, there were concerns regarding the landing flare and bank angle stability during landing. These aspects are crucial for a smooth and safe touchdown.

In the Touchdown Phase, it is commendable that the touchdown rate was smooth at -139 ft/m. However, the touchdown speed of 96 knots was noted to be too fast and the touchdown point was significantly beyond the designated touchdown zone. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned from the centerline.

On a positive note, navigating a 14 knot crosswind during landing is no easy feat and it is noteworthy that you were able to manage this aspect effectively. Crosswind landings require skill and precision, so well done on handling this challenging condition.

In conclusion, while there were some areas that require improvement in terms of descent path, heading alignment, speed control, touchdown point accuracy, and alignment with centerline during landing, there were also strengths such as managing a crosswind landing effectively and achieving a smooth touchdown rate. By focusing on these areas for improvement and building on your strengths, you can work towards achieving a higher landing score in future flights. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in your landings.
