The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,537 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,427 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 28L at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field. The takeoff distance was 6,823 feet, which was 70% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 92°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 239°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, climbing from 3,781 feet above sea level to 36,121 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,340 feet in 19 minutes and covering 113 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles south east of OR09 Whitehorse Ranch Airport Fields and lasted 31 minutes, covering 220 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile south east of North San Juan, descending from 36,154 feet above sea level to 1,196 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,958 feet in 27 minutes and covering 121 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport was made from the south east, heading 292.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,178 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,434 feet, which was 39% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 310°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 4,514 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 461 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 86 minutes. The aircraft used 7,569 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 292.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,178 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 130 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,434 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the recommended range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 4,514 feet was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 99.6% reflects the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
