Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 established a final approach to runway 35L at KDEN from the south, tracking a heading of 1.0° at 4 nm and 1,280 ft AGL. Local conditions were 99 °F with wind 12 kt from 330°, providing a 10 kt headwind and 6 kt crosswind component, and the runway length was 12,023 ft. The approach maintained a good threshold height.

At threshold the aircraft’s speed was 145 kt, noted as slightly above the target, and the flare commenced from the established height without deviation.

Touchdown occurred 1,131 ft down the runway, described as good, with a speed of 142 kt that was a little fast and a heavy descent rate of minus 631 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 4,217 ft, representing 35 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

To refine the already strong performance, reduce the approach and touchdown speeds to meet the target values and adjust flare timing to achieve a lighter touchdown rate, which will further improve energy management while preserving the excellent alignment and runway usage.
