Landing on runway 08R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 97.12 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,199 feet above ground level (agl).

The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 140 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 1,396 feet was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.

However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -356 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 40°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots, which is relatively light and should not have significantly impacted the landing.

The total landing distance of 4,134 feet was 44% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
