Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 16 at Wellington International Airport (NZWN), with a takeoff distance of 962 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 159 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started overhead NZWN, with the aircraft ascending from 1,027 feet above sea level to 6,934 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,907 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the enroute level cruise began 6 miles east of SB14 Wellington, lasting 16 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 6 miles east of Upper Hutt, descending from 6,639 feet above sea level to 3,307 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,332 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 4 miles west of Upper Hutt, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.

The final descent started 2 miles south-west of Porirua, with the aircraft descending from 2,837 feet above sea level to 1,324 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,513 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16 at NZWN from the north, heading 183.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 329 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -282 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 140 degrees, with a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 52 nautical miles, taking 37 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,667 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 16 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 95.81 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 142 knots, and the touchdown distance of 329 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was satisfactory, but the touchdown rate of -282 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 140°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was also 9 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.

The total landing distance of 931 meters was 51% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that affected the initial touchdown position.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with alignment and touchdown rate. These can be addressed through further training and practice to improve the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance.
