Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,689 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,689 m of the 2,620 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 846 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321neo taxied from the parking area to runway 18L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 18L, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 541 m, representing 19 % of the runway, and lifted off at 175 kt. Local conditions were 22 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 149°, including a 2 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead EHAM, with the airplane ascending from 942 ft asl to 32 059 ft asl, an increase of 31 117 ft achieved in 8 minutes while covering 46 nm.
The first cruise segment began 10 nm west of Bergen aan Zee and continued for 45 minutes, during which 267 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 nm north of Aughton, lowering the aircraft from 31 546 ft asl to 8 110 ft asl, a loss of 23 436 ft in 22 minutes and spanning 103 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 13 nm north-east of Loughshinny, lasting 7 minutes and covering 27 nm.
The next descent began 15 nm north-east of Greystones, reducing altitude from 8 004 ft asl to 1 506 ft asl, a decrease of 6 498 ft in 9 minutes over 21 nm.
Final approach to runway 28L at EIDW Dublin Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 275.0°, at 4 nm and 1 284 ft agl.
Landing on runway 28L, which is 2 620 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 122 kt; the touchdown point was 426 m beyond the touchdown zone and the aircraft touched down at 119 kt, a rate of minus 350 fpm. The touchdown was offset 25.0 m from the centreline. Ambient temperature was 16 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 250°, including a 2 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1 604 m, representing 61 % of the runway.
Runway rollout showed a lateral deviation of 23.2 m from the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand, a taxi-in that required 6 minutes and covered 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 478 nm, took 104 minutes, and consumed 3 016 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 28L at EIDW Dublin Airport was conducted from the east on a heading of 275.0° at 4 nm and 1,284 ft AGL. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the local weather was 16 °C with wind 5 kt from 250°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good height and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 122 kt, indicating an appropriate flare initiation.
Touchdown occurred 426 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 119 kt, noted as a little fast, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 350 fpm. The touchdown point was significantly misaligned, being 25.0 m off the centreline, and the total landing distance used was 1,604 m, representing 61 % of the runway length.
During rollout the aircraft remained misaligned, deviating 23.2 m from the centreline.
The score of 64.2 % reflects the need to tighten centreline tracking and refine speed control; maintaining a tighter lateral path will reduce the 25-m and 23-m deviations, and adjusting the flare to achieve a smoother touchdown will help keep speed at or just below the 122 kt threshold reference.
