Biggest loss first. Every scored stage counts equally within its phase, and the phases equally in the flight score — so each amount is exact, not an estimate.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took a total of 8 minutes and covered approximately 1 nautical mile. Once on the runway, the aircraft began its departure roll, taking off from runway 21 at Eindhoven Airport. The takeoff distance was 875 meters, which is 35% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 12 °C and a wind speed of 18 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind was 18 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Eindhoven Airport, where the aircraft increased its altitude from 1,126 feet to 15,273 feet over the course of 5 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute level cruise at an altitude of 15,273 feet, 1 mile southwest of Gilze Rijen Air Base. This phase of the flight lasted for 2 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 15,207 feet to 1,436 feet, a decrease of 13,771 feet over the course of 14 minutes, covering 36 nautical miles.
The final approach phase of the flight began overhead Sprundel, where the aircraft started its descent and prepared for landing on runway 25L at Brussels Airport from the east. The aircraft was heading at 250 degrees and was 4 nautical miles away from the runway, at an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on a runway that was 3,082 meters long, with a threshold height that was slightly above the target height.
Upon landing, the aircraft achieved a touchdown speed of 116 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown distance was good, at 332 meters. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which allowed for a smooth landing. The total landing distance was 1,327 meters, which is 43% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, by approximately 8.1 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, which took a total of 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 73 nautical miles, and the flight lasted for 34 minutes, using a total of 1,253 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport with a score of 92.8%. The aircraft was on a final approach from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles with an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). Despite a slightly above-target threshold height of 60 feet agl, the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 122 knots.
The landing was executed smoothly with a touchdown distance of 332 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 116 knots was a little faster than desired, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly too high or too aggressive during the approach. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -546 feet per minute (fpm) was also very hard, which could be a concern for passenger comfort and safety.
Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft precisely aligned with the centerline of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 23 knots from 210°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft's performance was significantly aided by the headwind, which reduced the effective landing distance.
The total landing distance was 1,327 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway length. Although this was a relatively short landing distance, the aircraft's rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation may have been due to the aircraft's high touchdown speed or the pilot's response to the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing was successful, but there were a few areas for improvement, including the touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and rollout alignment. However, the aircraft's performance was largely influenced by the favorable weather conditions, and the pilots' skills and experience played a significant role in executing a safe and efficient landing.
