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 the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Queenstown International Airport, taking approximately 7 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 19 °C, a wind speed of 13 knots from 240 degrees, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 12-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from Queenstown, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,015 feet above sea level to 23,281 feet, an increase of 21,266 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles. This cruise phase began 4 miles east of Hawea Downs Wanaka.

The enroute descent phase started 12 miles northwest of Geraldine, where the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 22,787 feet to 1,373 feet, a decrease of 21,414 feet. This descent took 15 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 20 at Christchurch International Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 220.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Christchurch International Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The final approach to runway 20 was initiated from the north east, heading 220.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly above the ideal speed, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing conditions. The touchdown rate was hard at -426 feet per minute, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 10°. 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 was 1,212 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the final approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft scored well in terms of threshold height, threshold speed, and runway rollout alignment. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate may be areas for improvement in future landings.
