Touchdown 709 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 24 ft and 142 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 83 %, −0.18 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -381 fpm at 90 %, −0.10 points

Next time

Work on the flare

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Landing on runway 01C at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 98.06 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 01C at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport, achieving a score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,148 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on the runway.

The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 700 feet, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.

The touchdown speed of 139 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -381 fpm. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 5 kt at 230°, were relatively calm, with a crosswind of 4 kt and a tailwind of 3 kt.

The total landing distance of 4,314 feet was 37% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase, and the pilot was able to maintain a stable alignment with the runway centerline.

Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the pilot's performance was commendable. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was safe and smooth.
