Landing on runway XX at San Francisco International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 83.25 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport, achieving an overall score of 83.2%. The final approach to landing was executed from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 74 feet above ground level (agl). As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 47 feet agl to 0 feet agl, resulting in a significant decrease of 47 feet in just 2 seconds.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 146 knots, which was slightly above the optimal speed for a smooth landing. However, the touchdown rate was particularly heavy, with a rate of -1,406 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown distance was satisfactory, measuring 466 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 0 knots at 0 degrees.

Following the touchdown, the aircraft's landing rollout was observed, with an altitude of 288 feet above sea level (asl) and a distance of 237 feet. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a good ability to control its descent and touchdown. However, the high touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed suggest that the pilots may have been able to make some adjustments to achieve a smoother landing.
