The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,164 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,179 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,795 feet, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 338 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of College Park, Georgia, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,949 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 36,824 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,875 feet in 22 minutes. The enroute climb covered a distance of 145 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of Duncan, South Carolina. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 516 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 4 miles east of Sea Bright, New Jersey, and descended from an altitude of 37,015 feet above sea level to 21,166 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,848 feet in 9 minutes. The enroute descent covered a distance of 79 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Sagaponack, New York, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 4 miles southwest of Montauk, New York, and descended from an altitude of 21,008 feet above sea level to 1,316 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,692 feet in 12 minutes. The final descent covered a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport, approaching from the southwest at a heading of 32.0 degrees. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 359 degrees. The aircraft landed on runway 05, which had a length of 7,164 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 136 knots.
The touchdown distance was 1,177 feet, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was also good at -174 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 3,400 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 811 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 77 minutes. The aircraft used 12,050 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 05, which has a length of 7,164 feet. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 136 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 1,177 feet was well within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 128 knots was also good. The touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute (fpm) was within the desired parameters, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from 359°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 3,400 feet was 47% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to land efficiently and effectively.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures the aircraft remains stable and under control after touchdown. Overall, the Airbus A321's landing at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's exceptional skills.
