Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 115 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 236 fpm.

See Arrival Landing

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at San Diego International Airport (KSAN). This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 27, with the aircraft taking off after covering 81% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,704 meters, and the liftoff speed was 161 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 23°C temperature and a 10-knot headwind. The aircraft climbed from 1,035 feet above sea level to 36,209 feet, an increase of 35,174 feet, in 17 minutes and covering 157 nautical miles. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of KSAN.

After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft began its level cruise, which started 18 miles southwest of Needles Airport (KEED). This phase of the flight lasted 38 minutes and covered 1,079 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Wabasso, Minnesota. The descent from 35,805 feet to 8,657 feet took 14 minutes and covered 91 nautical miles.

The aircraft then leveled off again, this time 2 miles northeast of Richfield, Minnesota, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Saint Paul, Minnesota. The descent from 8,166 feet to 2,115 feet took 5 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 30R at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 301.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,432 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots.

The touchdown point was 184 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -173 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 29°C temperature and a 17-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 1,533 meters, which was 63% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,348 nautical miles, and the flight used 9,008 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 30R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 96.26 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, achieving a score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 30R, which has a length of 2,432 meters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots. The touchdown point was 184 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was satisfactory.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.7 meters, which may have contributed to the deviation from the touchdown zone. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 29°C, a wind speed of 17 knots from 310°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 17-knot headwind.

The total landing distance of 1,533 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth rollout and good control of the aircraft during the landing phase.
