Landing on runway 02 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 93.62 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 19.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 160 knots. This suggests that the pilots may have been attempting to maintain a high speed during the approach, possibly due to factors such as wind or air traffic control instructions. The touchdown distance of 342 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilots had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

However, the touchdown speed of 152 knots was faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -340 feet per minute (fpm). This may have been due to the pilots' decision to maintain a high speed during the approach, as mentioned earlier. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 8.4 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the pilots' decision to maintain a high speed during the approach.

The total landing distance of 950 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had sufficient control over the aircraft's rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 8.6 meters. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the desired parameters.
