Improve the touchdown

Arrival Touchdown

Next time

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, rather than letting it stop or relax.

What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it at 314 fpm, and the touchdown followed long at 546 m against a 457 m target. Sink returning late in the flare usually carries the touchdown long.

Watch for: Watch the sink rate in the flare, holding it smooth all the way to touchdown rather than letting 314 fpm return.

Departure

Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 139 kt, not after it.

What happened: Rotation was held until 153 kt, 14 kt past the 139 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

The departure roll on runway 23L employed 955 m, representing 26 % of the runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 153 kt. Ambient temperature was 17 °C with wind 16 kt from 310°, yielding a cross-wind component of 13 kt and a head-wind component of 8 kt.

Climb commenced overhead the airport, rising from 965 ft asl to 1,595 ft asl, an increase of 630 ft achieved in 1 minutes while covering 3 nm.

Level cruise was established about 3 miles southwest of the airport, lasting 5 minutes and encompassing 14 nm of flight.

The final approach to runway 23L was flown from the east, on a heading of 257.0° at 3 nm and 1,123 ft agl.

Touchdown occurred on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold height of 58 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was 129 kt. The aircraft contacted the runway 124 m beyond the touchdown zone at 120 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 464 fpm and a lateral deviation of 10.0 m from the centreline. Weather at the time matched the departure conditions: temperature 17 °C, wind 16 kt from 310°, cross-wind 14 kt, head-wind 8 kt.

In total, the flight covered 22 nm, took 9 (as reported), and used 423 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 85.71 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320neo approached runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport on a final approach from the east, tracking a heading of 257.0 ° at 3 nm and 1,123 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At the threshold the runway measured 3,671 m in length and the threshold height of 58 ft agl was noted as slightly above target, while the threshold speed of 129 kt was judged good.

Touchdown occurred 124 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 120 kt, classified as good, but the touchdown rate was hard at minus 464 fpm. The aircraft landed misaligned by 10.0 m from the centreline. Ambient conditions were temperature 17 °C, wind 16 kt from 310 °, providing a crosswind component of 14 kt and a headwind component of 8 kt.

To bring the score closer to the maximum, focus on achieving the exact target threshold height and improving lateral alignment to reduce the 10 m offset. Refining flare technique to moderate the touchdown rate will also help convert the hard landing into a smoother one.
