The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,064 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,064 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 442 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 33, with a takeoff distance of 1,601 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,069 feet above sea level to 36,858 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,789 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Norderstedt, Germany, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile northeast of Veenoord, Netherlands, and lasting 5 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Olst, Netherlands, and descending from 36,868 feet above sea level to 15,567 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,301 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles northwest of Stabroek, Belgium, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Zwijndrecht, Belgium, and descending from 15,199 feet above sea level to 1,400 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,799 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport was made from the northeast, heading 245.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,240 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 444 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -150 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,990 meters, which was 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 10 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 282 nautical miles, taking 66 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,070 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 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 135 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,990 meters was 65% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the maneuver.
