Landing on runway 04L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 96.37 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 04L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, achieving a high score of 96.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 31.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,343 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 144 knots, which is within the acceptable range.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 281 meters, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard, at -412 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight loss of control during the landing phase.

Despite the hard touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were also favorable, with a temperature of -8°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 340°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

The total landing distance of 1,365 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the hard touchdown rate may indicate a need for further training or practice to improve the pilot's ability to control the aircraft during the landing phase.
