Landing on runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 91.97 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) with a score of 92.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 145 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 447 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -506 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or hard impact upon touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, which contributed to a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The runway length of 3,285 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,363 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway.

The rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft meeting most of the target parameters. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed may require further attention to ensure a smoother and more controlled landing in the future.
