The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. As the aircraft began its enroute descent, it started overhead Frankfurt Airport, located in Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany. The descent from an altitude of 370 feet above sea level to 1,407 feet above sea level was a significant decrease of 1,037 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 250.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,068 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25C, which has a length of 3,990 meters, was executed with a threshold height that was well above the target, and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 121 knots.
The touchdown point was located 314 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 115 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute was only fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot was present.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,646 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.7 meters. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 305 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 86.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,068 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,990 meters.
The threshold height at 72 feet agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude during the approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 121 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the wind conditions. The touchdown point was 314 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but not excessively so.
The touchdown speed of 115 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. There was no crosswind or headwind component, which made the landing conditions even more favorable. The total landing distance was 1,646 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively so.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off by 7.7 meters. This may have been due to the aircraft's braking performance or the pilot's control inputs during the rollout. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of the touchdown rate and rollout alignment.
