Departing from Suwon Airport (RKSW), the Airbus A320 initiated its enroute climb from a starting altitude of 10,752 ft above sea level, situated approximately 4 miles northeast of the airport. The aircraft efficiently ascended to a final cruising altitude of 649 ft asl, achieving a notable increase of 10,103 ft in a mere 2 minutes while covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This rapid ascent allowed the aircraft to reach its desired altitude in a timely manner, setting the stage for a smooth transition into the approach phase.
As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 15L at RKSW Suwon Airport, it maintained a heading of 147.0° from the northwest, descending to an altitude of 555 ft above ground level while remaining 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that exceeded the target value, reaching 153 kt. The touchdown distance of 199 meters was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 152 kt was slightly above the optimal range. The touchdown rate of -329 fpm was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centreline by 15.7 meters, which would require attention during the post-flight analysis.
The aircraft's total landing distance of 2,603 meters, accounting for 95% of the runway length, was a notable achievement. The runway rollout alignment was also found to be misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a negligible wind speed of 1 kt from 270°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The total flight distance of 10 nautical miles was completed in 3 minutes, with the aircraft utilizing a minimal amount of fuel, specifically 0 kg.

The final approach to runway 15L at RKSW Suwon Airport was initiated from the north west, heading 147.0° at 2 nm and 555 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 153 kt, which may have been a result of the aircraft's high energy state at the moment of touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 152 kt, which was faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -329 fpm. The touchdown distance of 199 m was within acceptable limits, but the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.7 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 270°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,603 m was 95% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.4 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance scored 80.3%, indicating a satisfactory but not exceptional landing.
