Landing on runway 18 at SBRF Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 98.27 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 approached runway 18 at SBRF Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport from the north on a heading of 162.0° at 4 nm and 1,287 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable because the sink rate was too high.

During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was well above target at 149 kt.

Touchdown occurred 52 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 134 kt, described as a little fast, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 301 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, being 4.9 m off the centreline.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,459 m, representing 49 % of the 3,003 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

To refine the performance, reduce the high sink rate on final to achieve a stabilised approach at the 1,000 ft gate, and adjust speed management so that the threshold speed is closer to its target, which will also help lower the touchdown speed.
