Landing on runway 04R at HESH Sharm El Sheikh International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 72.91 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 entered the final approach to runway 04R at HESH Sharm El Sheikh International Airport from the south-west on a heading of 41.0 ° at 3 nm and 1,772 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, with sink rate too high and the aircraft off the glideslope.

At threshold the aircraft displayed a good threshold height but the threshold speed was well above target at 132 kt. The flare commenced with the aircraft still above the desired speed envelope.

Touchdown occurred 215 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 130 kt that was fast and a very heavy touchdown rate of minus 779 fpm. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.9 m from the centreline. Total landing distance measured 983 m, representing 32 % of the 3,068 m runway.

Rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 41.6 m from the centreline. Local weather was 34 °C with wind 7 kt from 0 °, including a 4 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt headwind component.

Refine control of sink rate and glide-path tracking to reduce the heavy touchdown and improve centreline alignment through flare and rollout, which will also help bring speed closer to target. Maintaining a more precise approach path will lessen the misalignment observed on touchdown and during rollout.
