The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV), taking approximately 8 minutes to cover 1 nautical mile. Departing from runway 03R and taking off with a 34% usage of the runway, the aircraft achieved liftoff at a speed of 155 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure consisted of a temperature of 23 °C and wind of 15 knots at 39 degrees. This resulted in a moderate headwind component of 15 knots, but little crosswind. With the enroute climb initiated overhead Artemida in the Attica region of Greece, the aircraft began its ascent from 1,283 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 37,487 feet, a vertical distance of 36,204 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 126 nautical miles.

Once reaching the enroute level cruise point 1 mile north of Vasilika in the North Aegean region of Greece, the flight continued for 7 minutes, covering 58 nautical miles. After this, the aircraft entered its first enroute descent, commencing 7 miles south of Can in Canakkale, Turkey. Over the period of 18 minutes, it descended from 37,358 feet to 4,975 feet, a reduction of 32,383 feet, and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles.

The second enroute descent took place 18 miles north of LTFM İstanbul Airport Arnavutköy in Istanbul, Turkey, where the aircraft descended from 4,970 feet to 1,495 feet in 4 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. Subsequent to this, the flight engaged in a brief enroute level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.

In the final approach to runway 17L at LTFM İstanbul Airport from the north, the aircraft navigated with a heading of 179.0 degrees at a height of 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft experienced some challenges during the final approach and landing. The local weather conditions at this point comprised a temperature of 18 °C and wind of 20 knots at 65 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 18 knots and tailwind of 8 knots.

The aircraft touched down on runway 17L, which is approximately 4,065 meters in length, and experienced a touchdown speed of 136 kt. Although the touchdown distance was within satisfactory parameters at 359 meters, the touchdown speed and landing rate of -602 fpm were considered slightly above average. The distance from the centerline at touchdown was found to be misaligned by 3.6 meters.

Post-landing, the aircraft underwent a runway rollout alignment that was significantly misaligned by 30.8 meters from the centerline, and the total landing distance covered was 1,198 meters, corresponding to 29% of the available runway.

Upon completion of the flight, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. This specific flight resulted in a total distance of 337 nautical miles, utilized 4,747 kilograms of fuel, and lasted for 62 minutes.

Landing on runway 17L at LTFM İstanbul Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 81.28 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 has successfully landed at LTFM İstanbul Airport, with a score of 81.3% indicating a relatively good performance. The aircraft was on a final approach to runway 17L, flying from the north and heading at 179.0° at an altitude of 1,282 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft was 4 nautical miles away from the runway threshold when it initiated its final approach.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 359 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above target at 136 kt (156 mph), suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending a bit faster than intended. This speed may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -602 fpm (feet per minute), which exceeded the target rate.

One notable issue during the touchdown was the runway alignment. Although the touch-down was relatively close to the centerline, it was still slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 30.8 meters from the centerline, indicating a deviation from the ideal path during the deceleration phase after touchdown.

The local weather conditions on the day of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 18°C (64°F) and wind speeds of 20 kt at 65°. The crosswind component was approximately 18 kt, while the tailwind component was 8 kt. These conditions likely presented a moderate challenge for the pilots, but they managed to control the aircraft throughout the approach and landing.

Overall, while the Airbus A320's performance during the landing at LTFM İstanbul Airport was relatively good, there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
