What went well

Touched down at -176 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 1,618 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 40 ft and 136 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 15.4 ft right at 94 %, −0.08 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 15 ft off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight in question was carried out on an Airbus A320 aircraft. Initially, the plane taxied from its parking spot at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (KBHM) to the runway 24, covering approximately 2 nautical miles in the process, and took six minutes to do so. Following this, the takeoff roll took place on runway 24, with the plane lifting off the ground after covering 63% of the runway, specifically 6,763 feet. The liftoff speed recorded was 162 knots.

The weather conditions at the time of takeoff were favorable, with a temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit, a wind speed of 3 knots coming from 139 degrees, and no crosswind or headwind. With the ascent complete, the plane entered a climb phase, commencing one mile northeast of Birmingham, Alabama. In this segment, which lasted 22 minutes, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,598 feet above sea level (asl) to a maximum altitude of 37,474 ft asl, representing a significant increase of 35,876 feet. The climb covered a distance of 146 nautical miles, demonstrating the plane's excellent climb performance under normal flight conditions.

Following the initial climb phase, the Airbus A320 entered a level cruise segment. This phase began approximately 7 miles northeast of Louin, Mississippi, where the plane continued to fly at the higher altitude, remaining at 37,474 ft asl for an extended period. The level cruise segment lasted 31 minutes and covered 228 nautical miles, showcasing the efficient performance of the Airbus A320 in level cruising configurations.

As the plane continued its enroute, it entered another climb segment, which began approximately 10 miles north of Beauregard Regional Airport DeRidder (KDRI) in Louisiana. In this segment, the aircraft ascended to the top level, and started its descent from a maximum altitude of 37,768 ft asl. The descent phase, commencing 3 miles west of the airport, lasted a mere 16 minutes, covering 102 nautical miles in the process. The altitude drop from 37,768 ft asl to 6,026 ft asl, representing a decrease of 31,742 feet, was also accomplished during this flight segment.

The descent segment from level cruise to the final descent phase started 1 mile west of Woodbranch in Texas. The cruise phase at this altitude, lasted only 3 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles. This final cruise segment at lower altitude was short-lived and began as the plane started descending.

A short descent segment commencing 3 miles north east of KDWH David Wayne Hooks Memorial Airport in Houston, Texas began at an altitude of 5,580 ft asl and terminated at 1,315 ft asl within 5 minutes, covering a distance of exactly 6 nautical miles. During this phase, the plane continued its descent toward its destination.

As the plane entered the terminal phase of flight, it began its final approach to runway 08L at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH), heading 270 degrees. The plane was flying at an altitude of 1,213 feet above ground level (agl), which is 1 mile and 4 nautical miles from the touch down point. The aircraft touched down 267 feet beyond the touchdown zone on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was slightly above the threshold speed of 136 knots.

The touch and go conditions were further assessed, the crosswind being 2 knots and headwind being 0 knots. Runway touchdown alignment was excellent and local weather conditions remained favorable with a temperature of 83 degrees Fahrenheit. The entire landing process was successful.

Upon touchdown, the plane rolled along the runway for an additional 5,224 feet, accounting for 58% of the runway's length. The

Landing Summary

A recent Airbus A320 landing at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport provides valuable insight into the aircraft's performance and pilot control. The approach to runway 08L started from a distance of 4 nautical miles, with an altitude of 1,213 feet above ground level (agl) and on a heading of 90.0 degrees. This indicates a precise and controlled descent, suggesting the pilots had a clear understanding of the aircraft's altitude and airspeed.

Upon landing on the runway, the aircraft performed adequately, but with a few minor deviations from optimal conditions. The touchdown point was 267 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilots may have been slightly off their mark. Notably, the aircraft's speed at touchdown was 132 knots, which is considered a bit faster than the recommended threshold speed. However, the touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute was within acceptable limits, suggesting a manageable deceleration.

An examination of the local weather conditions at the time of the landing reveals a stable and calm environment. The temperature was 83 degrees Fahrenheit, and the wind was relatively light, blowing at 2 knots from 179 degrees. As a result, the pilots had a negligible headwind component, and the crosswind was also minimal at 2 knots. This favorable weather likely contributed to a smoother landing experience.

Upon evaluating the total landing distance, it is evident that the aircraft performed well in terms of runway utilization. The landing distance of 5,224 feet accounted for approximately 58% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively efficient deceleration. Moreover, the runway rollout alignment was "perfect," demonstrating the pilots' skill in maintaining control and stability after touchdown.

In summary, this Airbus A320 landing illustrates the aircraft's capabilities and the pilots' expertise in navigating challenging approaches and landings. Although some minor deviations were observed, the pilots were able to manage the aircraft effectively, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
