Departure
Arrival
This flight was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a starting altitude of 1,631 feet above sea level (asl) as it departed from an area overhead Hunters Hill in the State of New South Wales, Australia. The aircraft quickly gained altitude, increasing its height by 10 feet in less than a minute, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent allowed the plane to reach a new altitude of 1,641 feet asl.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 16R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, coming in from the north at a heading of 169.0 degrees. At this point, the plane was 4 nautical miles away from the runway and was flying at an altitude of 1,624 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course as it prepared for landing.
Upon landing, the Airbus A320 touched down on runway 16R, which has a length of 3,885 meters. However, the threshold height at which the plane landed was significantly above the target height, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly higher than intended when it made contact with the runway. The threshold speed at which the plane landed was also slightly above the target speed, coming in at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was located 77 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was also hard, with the plane experiencing a descent rate of -475 feet per minute. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 5.2 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots coming from a direction of 187 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,016 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway length.
As the plane rolled out after landing, it was found to be slightly misaligned from the centerline, deviating by 8.6 meters. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 2 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 37 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 16R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 169.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,624 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with a speed slightly above the target threshold speed of 138 kt, which is a relatively minor deviation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 77 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a moderate deviation. The touchdown speed of 137 kt was also slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly too fast upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -475 fpm was considered hard, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, deviating by 5.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 kt from 187°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed. The total landing distance of 1,016 meters was 26% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the hard touchdown rate and the slightly above-target touchdown speed. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal parameters, which may be addressed in future training or operations to improve the aircraft's landing performance.
