The Federal Aviation Administration William J. Hughes Technical Center is conducting a series of video landing parameter surveys at high-capacity commercial airports to acquire a better understanding of typical contact conditions for a wide variety of aircraft and airports as they relate to current aircraft design criteria and practices. This was the second in an ongoing series of parameter landing surveys and was conducted at Washington National Airport in June 1995. Four video cameras were temporarily installed along the east side of runway 36. Video images of 532 transport, (525 narrow-body jets and 7 commuter jets) were captured, analyzed, and the results presented herein. Landing parameters presented include sink rate; approach speed; touchdown pitch, roll, and yaw angles; off-center distance; and the touchdown distance from the runway threshold measured along the runway center line. Wind and weather conditions were also recorded and landing weights were available for most landings.
