This flight was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from Vienna International Airport (LOWW) in Vienna, Austria. The aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 620 feet above sea level (asl) and climbed to 4,985 ft asl in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles (nm). This rapid ascent allowed the aircraft to reach a significant altitude in a short period of time.

After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it flew at a steady altitude for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nm. This phase of the flight allowed the aircraft to maintain a consistent speed and altitude, ensuring a smooth and efficient journey.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from an altitude of 5,008 ft asl to 2,000 ft asl. This descent phase took 5 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 16 nm. The aircraft's rate of descent was moderate, allowing it to maintain control and stability throughout the process.

The final approach to runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 1,403 feet above ground level (agl) and a heading of 296.0°. The aircraft was 4 nm from the runway threshold at this point, and its speed was suitable for a safe landing.

The aircraft landed safely on runway 29, which had a length of 3,494 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also suitable at 121 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 115 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.5 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,436 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 40 nm, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 575 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 98.69 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 29, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 296.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,403 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 121 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 115 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 415 meters was also within the acceptable range.

The landing distance of 1,436 meters, which accounts for 41% of the runway length, was reasonable considering the aircraft's weight and the prevailing weather conditions. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from the north. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
