Airbus a320 Landing  - Page 3

AIRBUS A320 LANDING ON FLIGHT FROM PORTO ALEGRE  IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL TO SAO PAULO
IFR Departure from Salgado Filho Intl (SBSP) Destination: Congonhas Intl (SBSP) Runway 17R

The Congonhas runway is 6,365 feet, compared with a 7,003-foot runway
at New York's LaGuardia Airport, which accommodates similar planes, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.


IN MEMORY OF THOSE THAT WERE LOST ON FLIGHT 3054

NOTES:

I am landing this flight at a normal airspeed (145 m/hr) and setting down pretty close to the apron as you can see in these pictures. 

There is very little room for error in setting down at this airport on runway 17R. If I would have touched down a little further on down the runway I would have stopped the plane in the field beyond the runway if I were lucky.

There isn't enough room to stop the pane on the runway if you miscalculate the touchdown point.  That's a bad thing when it comes to landing passenger jets.

It's a great airport for prop planes though!
