Landing on runway 17L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 66.72 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft has landed at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 17L was initiated from the north, heading 169.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,421 feet above ground level. The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it was found that the threshold height at 98 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, indicating a higher-than-desired approach path angle.

Furthermore, the threshold speed was excessively high at 189 knots, which is a critical factor in determining the safety and effectiveness of the landing. A higher threshold speed can lead to a longer landing distance and increased risk of overshooting the runway. In contrast, the threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 168 knots. These deviations from the ideal landing parameters suggest that the pilot may have been struggling to maintain a stable approach.

The touchdown point was 641 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed farther down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 158 knots was also fast, which can lead to a longer rollout distance and increased risk of runway excursion. The touchdown rate was firm at -312 feet per minute, which is within the acceptable range but still indicates a relatively hard landing.

Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline, which can lead to uneven tire wear and increased risk of veering off the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal, and there was no headwind.

The total landing distance was 1,904 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been slowed down too quickly or that the pilot may have been struggling to maintain control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which can lead to uneven tire wear and increased risk of veering off the runway.

Overall, the landing of the Airbus A320 at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport was not ideal, with several deviations from the target parameters. While the aircraft was able to land safely, the pilot's performance during the landing was subpar, and there is room for improvement in terms of approach path angle, threshold speed, and touchdown speed.
