Landing on runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 92.84 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport (YMML) on runway 16, achieving a high score of 92.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 172.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,325 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 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 424 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this is not considered a significant deviation given the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -197 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a headwind of 13 knots at 169°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The runway length of 3,662 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,294 meters, which accounted for only 35% of the available runway. This indicates that the pilot had a significant amount of runway remaining to safely stop the aircraft.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and control during the landing. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at Melbourne International Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well within the acceptable parameters for a safe and controlled touchdown.
