Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 166 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 269°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 5-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles west of KMSY, rising from an altitude of 1,025 feet above sea level to 36,043 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,018 feet, in just 21 minutes and covering a distance of 137 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 2 miles west of Grass Roots Airport in Alexandria, Louisiana, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering 136 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles northeast of Harrison Farm Airport in Troup, Texas, descending from 36,204 feet above sea level to 11,264 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,941 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 107 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile southwest of Farmers Branch, Texas, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 19 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its final descent overhead Lincoln Park, Texas, descending from 11,095 feet above sea level to 2,284 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,811 feet, in just 7 minutes and covering 31 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile southeast of Dallas Lrrs Hensley Field and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 36L at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,287 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 36L, which had a length of 4,095 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots.

However, the touchdown point was 379 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 131 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -402 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 320°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and an 8-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 1,411 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 10 minutes to cover 1 nautical mile.

In total, the flight distance was 447 nautical miles, taking 90 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 4,063 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 36L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in the Airbus A321
Landing Score 88.61 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 36L at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.6%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 0.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 131 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 140 knots. The touchdown point was located 379 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown rate was also reported to be hard, with a descent rate of -402 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was found to be misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.

The total landing distance was measured to be 1,411 meters, which accounted for 34% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also found to be slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including a slightly faster touchdown speed and hard touchdown rate, as well as some deviations from the intended landing spot and rollout path.
