Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight involved an Airbus A321 aircraft departing from Manchester Airport (EGCC) and arriving at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH). The taxiing process prior to departure took 13 minutes, covering approximately 3 nautical miles (nm). The aircraft began by departing from runway 23L at EGCC, utilizing 69% of the 1,965-meter-long runway to achieve a liftoff speed of 168 knots (kt).

Upon liftoff, the aircraft began climbing, reaching an altitude of 1,283 feet above sea level (asl) before ascending further to 4,965 ft asl in two minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm. Following this initial climb, the aircraft transitioned to a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 4,984 ft asl for two minutes before again commencing a climb. This second ascent took the aircraft from 4,984 ft asl to 37,228 ft asl in 23 minutes, covering an impressive distance of 163 nm.

The aircraft continued to fly at a cruising altitude of 37,228 ft asl for 31 minutes, covering 257 nm. During this period, it flew 80 miles east of Flamborough in England before beginning its descent. The descent started 2 miles south of Give in Denmark and took 22 minutes to reduce the aircraft's altitude from 37,403 ft asl to 2,005 ft asl, covering around 124 nm.

The aircraft continued to fly at lower altitudes, commencing level cruis for a brief three minutes prior to beginning its approach to runway 22R at EKCH. During this final phase of the flight, the aircraft flew from the north-east and maintained a heading of 221.0° at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl) as it approached the runway.

The aircraft successfully landed on runway 22R at EKCH, utilizing just 40% of the 2,996-meter-long runway. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, a threshold speed of 138 kt, and a touchdown distance of 274 meters. The touchdown speed of 135 kt was also considered good, with a firm touchdown rate of -370 feet per minute (fpm). Runway touchdown alignment was described as very good, while local weather conditions comprised a temperature of 20°C, a wind speed of 21 kt from 240°, a 7-kt crosswind, and a 20-kt headwind.

Following the successful landing, the aircraft began taxiing to the parking area, covering a distance of 2 nm in 10 minutes. The total flight duration was 107 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 4,223 kg of fuel. The flight covered a total distance of 578 nm.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 has successfully completed a landing at Runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, demonstrating proficient piloting skills. The aircraft began its final approach from the north-east, heading 221.0° at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl) and at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. This is a precise control during the final approach phase, allowing the pilots to navigate the aircraft to the desired runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a satisfactory threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a good control of the aircraft's altitude during the descent phase. The threshold speed of 138 knots, which is typically ideal for a smooth touchdown, further supports the successful landing. Additionally, the touchdown distance of 274 meters, or approximately 900 feet, was shorter than expected, suggesting that the pilots were able to slow down the aircraft effectively before touchdown.

The touchdown speed of 135 knots was also satisfactory, while the touchdown rate of -370 feet per minute (fpm) indicates that the pilots were able to execute a firm yet controlled landing. This is an essential skill, particularly when operating in conditions with varying wind velocities, such as the 21-knot wind at 240° present during this landing.

In terms of weather conditions, the temperature was a pleasant 20°C, and the wind was relatively gentle, with a 20-knot headwind and a 7-knot crosswind. Despite these conditions, the aircraft remained well-aligned with the runway during touchdown and rollout, indicating that the pilots were able to effectively manage the aircraft's trajectory.

Notably, the total landing distance of 1,207 meters, or approximately 40% of the runway, is relatively short, suggesting that the pilots were able to execute a smooth and timely landing. The rollout alignment, which refers to how well the aircraft aligns itself with the centerline of the runway during the rollout phase after touchdown, was also very good. Overall, this landing demonstrates the competence and skill of the pilots in navigating the Airbus A321 successfully to a safe and controlled touchdown.
