The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 16L at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 6,208 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 249 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Des Moines, Washington. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,371 feet above sea level to 16,741 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,369 feet, in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southwest of Kapowsin, Washington, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 6 miles south of Eatonville, Washington, and descended from an altitude of 16,773 feet above sea level to 12,110 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,663 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 16 miles southeast of Mossyrock, Washington, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Becker Field Battle Ground, Washington, and descended from an altitude of 11,488 feet above sea level to 1,300 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,188 feet, in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28L at Portland International Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 299.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 28L, which had a length of 10,982 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 285 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -368 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 280 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,696 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began taxiing to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 28L at KPDX Portland International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 299.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 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 recorded at 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 285 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was still considered a good performance given the aircraft's speed and control. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
The touchdown rate of -368 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively hard, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down smoothly and safely. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 14 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing process easier.
The total landing distance of 4,696 feet was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had brought it to a safe stop without any issues.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 28L at KPDX Portland International Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and landing process. The high score of 97.7% reflects the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
