The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25R at Brussels Airport, EBBR. The Airbus A321 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,317 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 179 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb over the town of Diegem in Flanders, Belgium. The climb started at an altitude of 1,184 feet above sea level and reached a height of 3,750 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,566 feet in just 1 minute. The aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles during this climb phase.

The enroute descent phase began over the town of Jette in Bruxelles-Capitale, Belgium. The aircraft descended from a height of 4,034 feet above sea level to 1,869 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,164 feet in 4 minutes. The distance covered during this descent phase was 6 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase over the town of Sterrebeek in Flanders, Belgium. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The final descent phase began 1 mile west of the town of Wilsele in Flanders, Belgium. The aircraft descended from a height of 2,039 feet above sea level to 1,040 feet above sea level, a decrease of 999 feet in 3 minutes. The distance covered during this descent phase was 5 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport was made from the north-east, heading 244.0 degrees at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 888 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 3,075 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 143 knots.

The touchdown point was 814 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -133 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 1,821 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 42 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 27 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 23 minutes. The aircraft used 1,083 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 81.59 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 244.0° at 2 nautical miles and 888 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 814 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have overshot the intended landing spot.

The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also higher than desired, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -133 feet per minute (fpm), which is a positive aspect of the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions would not have significantly impacted the landing, but they may have contributed to the pilot's decision to touch down beyond the designated touchdown zone.

The total landing distance of 1,821 meters was 59% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to stop the aircraft within the available runway length, which could have been due to the high touchdown speed. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop on the runway. However, there are areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and improving the alignment with the runway.
