Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an A321-231, then departed from runway 25R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 2,015 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 175 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of El Segundo, California. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,128 feet above sea level to 35,386 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,257 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles southeast of Bicycle Lake Army Air Field Fort Irwin/Barstow (KBYS) in California. This phase lasted for 137 minutes and covered a distance of 1,119 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Wabasso, Minnesota. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 84 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,567 feet above sea level to 4,272 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,294 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of the Riverwood Healthcare Center Heliport Aitkin (14MN) in Minnesota. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Lakeville, Minnesota. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,875 feet above sea level to 2,127 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,748 feet.

The final approach to runway 35 at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 350.0° at an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 35, which had a length of 2,437 meters. The threshold height at 103 feet above ground level was excessively over target, but the threshold speed was good at 140 knots.

The touchdown point was 661 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -373 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,711 meters, which was 70% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.0 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,344 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 195 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,450 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, an A321-231, successfully landed at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport on runway 35. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 350.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 76.9%.

The threshold height at 103 feet agl was found to be excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down higher than desired. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 140 knots, demonstrating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's speed effectively during the landing. The touchdown point was located 661 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot.

The touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -373 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and avoided a hard landing. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the deviation from the intended landing spot.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,711 meters, which is 70% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.0 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the overall deviation from the intended landing spot.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some areas for improvement. The pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent during the landing, but there were deviations from the intended landing spot and threshold height.
