Departure

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

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.1 m off the runway centreline.

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

See Departure Roll

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Landing on runway 13L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 96.67 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 138.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,396 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 13L, which has a length of 3,807 meters.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, 98 meters past the threshold. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating a slightly fast touchdown. The touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.0 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 150°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 1,407 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
