Departure
Arrival
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft, which took off from Zürich Airport in Zurich, Switzerland. The enroute climb phase began as the aircraft lifted off from the airport, rising from an initial altitude of 1,417 feet above sea level to 3,567 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 2,151 feet was achieved in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued on its journey, it entered the enroute descent phase, starting from an altitude of 3,547 feet above sea level. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease in altitude by 785 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This phase of the flight was a crucial part of the aircraft's journey, as it prepared for its final approach to the runway.
The final approach to runway 34 at Zürich Airport was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 327.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 3 nautical miles away from the runway and at an altitude of 1,358 feet above ground level. The approach was made with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway 47 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots. This was slightly faster than the recommended speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -332 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 6.4 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 58 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft landed safely on the runway, with a total landing distance of 1,416 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, which was completed in 6 minutes, and the aircraft used a total of 281 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) with a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 327.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,358 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 34, which has a length of 3,236 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 141 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, located 47 meters past the threshold. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was a bit faster than ideal, which may have contributed to the slightly firm touchdown rate of -332 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, deviating by 6.4 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to the crosswind, which was blowing at 13 knots from the headwind direction. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 58°.
The total landing distance of 1,416 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the pilot maintained good control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with only minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown.
Landed with a 13 kt crosswind, well done!
