Landing Summary

The aircraft, Mahan Air A310 EP-MNO, successfully landed at KNKX Miramar Marine Corps Air Station - Mitscher Field, with a final approach score of 94.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 255.0° at 1 nm and 370 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 24R, which has a length of 11,982 ft.

The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 139 kt. The touchdown point was 413 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 122 kt was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively. However, the touchdown rate of -290 fpm was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a significant achievement, as it indicates that the pilot maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 15 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kt, while the headwind component was 14 kt, which would have assisted the pilot in maintaining control during the landing.

The total landing distance was 4,513 ft, which is 38% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed the landing smoothly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 ft from the centreline, which is a minor deviation. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach and landing.
