Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

85 % The flare mostly held the target profile. The flare took all the sink out 9 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft settled on from there, 155 fpm of sink coming back, having crossed the threshold below target speed. Touchdown was 1,288 m past the threshold. Carry the speed to the flare and hold it lower - the aircraft ran out of lift before the wheels arrived, so the fix is energy on the approach, not attitude.

Flight narrative

Departing from London Heathrow Airport, the Airbus A321 began its takeoff roll on runway 09R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 180 kt in 1,615 meters, which was 48% of the available runway length. The aircraft then climbed away from the airport, navigating through a local weather scenario characterized by a temperature of 20 °C, a wind speed of 12 kt at 65 °, resulting in a 5 kt crosswind and an 11 kt headwind.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from 1,102 ft above sea level to 32,629 ft, a vertical increase of 31,527 ft in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nm. This marked the beginning of a series of level cruises and descents that would take the aircraft across various European territories, including France and Greece. The aircraft's fuel efficiency was notable, with a total fuel consumption of 9,563 kg for the entire flight. The enroute level cruises and descents were characterized by a mix of short and long segments, with the aircraft maintaining a steady pace and adhering to its planned flight path.

As the aircraft approached its destination, Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, it began its final approach to runway 27 from the east, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nm and 911 ft above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 121 kt and a rate of -199 fpm, using more than 50% of the available runway length. The total landing distance was 1,876 meters, which was 84% of the runway length. The aircraft's rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The total flight distance was 1,563 nm, and the flight duration was 214 minutes.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at LGIR Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 131 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was located at a distance of more than 50% of the available runway, resulting in a longer than desired rollout.

The touchdown speed of 121 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -199 fpm was also within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a headwind of 9 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The total landing distance of 1,876 m was 84% of the available runway, indicating a relatively long rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of a high standard, with a score of 84.2%.
