The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 04 at EGAC George Best Belfast City Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 04, the aircraft used 1,663 m of runway, representing 96 % of the available length, and lifted off at 154 kt; ambient temperature was 15 °C with a wind of 23 kt from 321°, a 22 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind.

The climb commenced overhead Holywood, Northern Ireland, climbing from 1,046 ft asl to 17,128 ft asl-a gain of 16,082 ft-in 7 minutes while covering 40 nm.

Cruise flight began 7 nm south-east of Loughshinny, Leinster, and was maintained for 6 minutes, during which 28 nm were traversed.

The first en-route descent started 3 nm east of EGJO Slieve Croob Airfield, descending from 17,159 ft asl to 4,487 ft asl, a loss of 12,672 ft in 9 minutes and covering 53 nm.

A subsequent descent began overhead Kilmacanoge, Leinster, dropping from 4,087 ft asl to 1,504 ft asl-a decrease of 2,583 ft-in 4 minutes while traveling 12 nm.

On final approach to runway 34 at EIDW Dublin Airport, the aircraft approached from the south-east on a heading of 337.0° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft agl.

Landing on runway 34 was achieved with a touchdown distance of 315 m; touchdown speed was 141 kt and the vertical speed was minus 612 fpm. The touchdown point was 60.8 m off centreline, with a threshold height of 58 ft agl and a threshold speed of 146 kt; local conditions were 15 °C, wind 23 kt from 321°, a 6 kt cross-wind and a 22 kt head-wind.

The total landing roll measured 961 m, equivalent to 47 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was off centreline by 61.1 m.

Landing on runway 34 at EIDW Dublin Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 76.24 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 established the final approach to runway 34 at Dublin Airport from the south-east, tracking a heading of 337.0° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft AGL. Ambient temperature was 15 °C with wind from 321° at 23 kt, including a 6 kt crosswind component and a 22 kt headwind component.

At the threshold the aircraft crossed at 58 ft AGL, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 146 kt.

Touchdown occurred 315 m down the runway, a good distance, with a speed of 141 kt that was a little fast and a heavy descent rate of minus 612 fpm. The touchdown point was excessively misaligned by 60.8 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 961 m, representing 47 % of the 2,058 m runway.

During rollout the aircraft remained excessively misaligned, deviating 61.1 m from the centreline.

Focus on improving lateral alignment to keep the touchdown point within a few metres of centreline and to maintain runway centreline during rollout. Reducing the heavy descent rate will also help achieve a smoother touchdown and better alignment.
