The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,756 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,756 ft of the 8,051 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,676 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A321 began with a 10-minute taxi from the parking area to runway 33L at KBOS Logan International Airport. The departure roll covered a distance of 2 nm, with a takeoff distance of 1,676 m, using 60% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 kn.
The local weather at the time of departure was 12 °C, with a wind speed of 8 kn at 270 ° resulting in a crosswind of 6 kn and a headwind of 6 kn. The enroute climb started over Chelsea (Massachusetts, United States) and ascended from 1,019 ft asl to 22,517 ft asl, covering 52 nm in 12 minutes.
The level cruise phase commenced over MA87 Horseneck Seaplane Base Westport (Massachusetts, United States) and lasted 2 minutes, covering 14 nm. A subsequent climb began 9 miles south of Newport (Rhode Island, United States), increasing altitude from 22,395 ft asl to 23,169 ft asl over a distance of 14 nm in 2 minutes.
The descent phase started over New Shoreham (Rhode Island, United States), lowering altitude from 23,166 ft asl to 22,320 ft asl, covering 12 nm in 2 minutes. Another level cruise phase began 5 miles northeast of KMTP Montauk Airport Montauk (New York, United States) and lasted 2 minutes, spanning 13 nm.
A subsequent descent started 2 miles northwest of KSPP Gardiners Island Landing Field Springs (New York, United States), descending from 22,749 ft asl to 21,157 ft asl over 2 minutes and 13 nm. The next cruise phase began 2 miles south of Southold (New York, United States), lasting 4 minutes and covering 26 nm.
The final descent started 1 mile north of Brookhaven (New York, United States), descending from 21,633 ft asl to 3,387 ft asl over 13 minutes and 53 nm. The level cruise phase resumed over R083 New York Static Carrier - Queen Elizabeth (New Jersey, United States) for 6 minutes, covering 9 nm.
The landing occurred on runway 13L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport, with a runway length of 2,454 m. The aircraft was 30 ft above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 146 kn. The touchdown occurred 514 m from the threshold at a speed of 139 kn, with a VSI of -116 ft/m.
The local weather during landing was 11 °C, with a wind speed of 7 kn at 270 ° resulting in a crosswind of 4 kn and a tailwind of 6 kn. The total landing distance was 1,682 m, accounting for 69 % of the runway length.
Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 217 nm, with a flight time of 1,419 minutes and fuel consumption of 2,856 kg.
The aircraft landing score of 99.2% is a testament to the skill and precision of the pilot during each phase of the landing process.
The Approach Phase of the landing was executed with excellence as the glideslope alignment was on point. This indicates that the pilot maintained the correct vertical descent path to ensure a smooth transition to the runway.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the pilot demonstrated good technique by maintaining the correct threshold height and executing a great landing flare. The threshold height is crucial for setting the aircraft up for a smooth touchdown, while the landing flare helps to reduce the rate of descent just before the wheels make contact with the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, the pilot's skill is evident as the touchdown rate was smooth and the speed was on target. The touchdown point being 338 ft beyond the touchdown zone indicates the pilot's ability to accurately judge the landing point, ensuring a safe touchdown. However, it is worth noting that landing with a tailwind of 6 knots is a risk that should be avoided in future landings.
Furthermore, the Rollout Phase displayed excellent runway alignment, showcasing the pilot's ability to keep the aircraft centered on the runway during the rollout after touchdown. The fact that the runway touchdown position was only 11 ft from the centerline further highlights the pilot's precision during this phase.
Overall, this landing score reflects the pilot's proficiency in each phase of the landing process. With continued focus on factors such as tailwind considerations and maintaining alignment, the pilot is well-positioned to consistently achieve successful landings. Congratulations on an impressive performance in this landing!
