The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) on runway 01, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 354.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 132 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -388 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but still within the acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 83°F and no wind. This allowed the pilot to maintain a steady approach and landing. The total landing distance of 3,204 feet 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 perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control of the aircraft. The slight deviation in touchdown speed was the only minor issue, but it did not affect the overall outcome of the landing.
