Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 34 at Wellington International Airport (NZWN). The takeoff distance was 939 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft successfully took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead SB14 Wellington.

During the enroute climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,060 feet above sea level to 29,379 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,320 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 99 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 10 miles north-east of Waverley, lasting 9 minutes and covering 69 nautical miles.

The enroute descent began 9 miles west of Piopio, where the aircraft descended from 29,483 feet above sea level to 3,702 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,781 feet in 16 minutes and covering 87 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 3 miles east of Ardmore Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.

The final enroute descent began 4 miles east of East Tamaki, where the aircraft descended from 3,007 feet above sea level to 1,316 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,691 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA), heading 251.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 447 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 145 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -506 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,363 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 274 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 60 minutes. The aircraft used 2,749 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
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.
