Landing on runway 17R at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in the Airbus A300

Landing Score 99.86 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A300 successfully landed on runway 17R at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, achieving a score of 99.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 165.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,695 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 124 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,329 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.

Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, which is essential for a safe and efficient landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 189°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing's stability.

The total landing distance of 5,795 feet was 58% of the runway's length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.

Overall, the Airbus A300's landing on runway 17R at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport was a successful and efficient operation, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
