Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.7 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport. This process took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 50% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,136 meters, and the liftoff speed was 151 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 15 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of KRDU, where the aircraft ascended from 1,461 feet above sea level to 38,629 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,168 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Bowling Green, Virginia, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent from 38,133 feet above sea level to 10,781 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,351 feet in 19 minutes, covering 153 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Village Shires, Pennsylvania, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.

The aircraft continued its descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Pennington, New Jersey, and descending from 10,642 feet above sea level to 2,460 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,182 feet in 12 minutes, covering 39 nautical miles. Another level cruise followed, starting overhead Caldwell, New Jersey, and lasting 6 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered its final descent, starting 1 mile southeast of North Arlington, New Jersey, and descending from 2,109 feet above sea level to 1,264 feet above sea level, a decrease of 845 feet in 2 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport took place from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 206.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 22L was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 132 knots. The touchdown distance was 238 meters, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -339 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 20.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 5°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 220°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,194 meters, which was 56% of the runway's length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 378 nautical miles, taking 72 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,264 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 89.25 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, achieving a score of 89.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 206.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 132 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -339 feet per minute (fpm). The firm touchdown rate indicates that the aircraft touched down with a relatively high rate of descent, which could have put additional stress on the landing gear.

The landing distance of 1,194 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot made a good effort to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again misaligned by 20.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs or a minor issue with the aircraft's braking system. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that need to be addressed to improve the pilot's performance and the aircraft's handling characteristics.
