The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 13 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA), with a takeoff distance of 1,658 meters, which accounted for 78% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots at 119 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed over Flushing, New York, marking the beginning of the enroute climb phase. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,030 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 30,954 feet, an increase of 29,924 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, 1 mile south-west of West Norriton, Pennsylvania.

The enroute descent phase began overhead West Chester, Pennsylvania, where the aircraft descended from 30,961 feet above sea level to 185 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,776 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) was made from the north, with a heading of 176.0 degrees at an altitude of 163 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown point located 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was considered good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 3 knots at 50 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,242 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 190 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1,722 kilograms.

Landing on runway 19 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 88.94 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, scoring an impressive 88.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 176.0° at an altitude of 163 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 248 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable rate of descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 1,242 meters was 57% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have deviated from the intended path during the rollout phase. Despite this minor issue, the overall performance of the Airbus A320 was impressive, and the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control.
