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. The initial parameter landing survey was conducted at John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport in June 1994. Four video cameras were temporarily installed along the north apron of runway 13L. Video images of 614 transport (242 wide-body, 264 narrow-body, and 108 commuter aircraft) were captured, analyzed, and the results presented. Landing parameters presented include sink rate; approach speed; touchdown pitch, roll, and yaw angles and rates; off-center distance; and the distance from the runway to the threshold. Wind and weather conditions were also recorded and land weights were available for most landings.
