The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. The descent phase of the flight began overhead Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) in Innsbruck, Tirol, Austria. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,904 feet above sea level (asl) to the same altitude, resulting in a decrease of 0 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile (nm).

Following the descent, the aircraft initiated an enroute climb, again starting from the same altitude of 1,904 feet asl. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend to an altitude of 3,495 feet asl, an increase of 1,591 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm. This climb phase marked a significant change in altitude and distance, setting the stage for the final approach to the runway.

The final approach to runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 260.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,565 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nm from the runway. However, the approach was not without its challenges, as the threshold height was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 190 knots.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 183 knots was also too fast, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -634 feet per minute (fpm). Despite these issues, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 289 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,981 meters, which was 105% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft experienced difficulties with runway rollout alignment, deviating by 254.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing phase to the parking area from the runway took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nm.

In terms of overall performance, the flight covered a total distance of 9 nm and took 11 minutes to complete, using a significant amount of fuel, with a total consumption of -8,801 kilograms.

Takeoff on runway XX at BUSH overhead Baumkirchen (Tirol, Austria) in the Airbus A321

Landing on runway 26 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 54.86 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft has landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) with a score of 54.9%. The final approach to runway 26 was initiated from the east, heading 260.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,565 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was attempting to land on a runway that is 1,891 meters long.

However, the landing was not executed perfectly, as the threshold height at 82 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 190 knots, which is a critical factor in determining the safety and efficiency of the landing. The high speed at threshold can lead to a longer landing distance and increased risk of overshooting the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft used more than 50% of the available runway, resulting in a very long touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 183 knots was also too fast, and the touchdown rate of -634 feet per minute (fpm) was heavy, indicating a high rate of descent. Despite these issues, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a positive aspect of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 289°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the challenges faced during the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,981 meters, which is 105% of the available runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was not able to stop within the designated runway length, which can be a safety concern. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 254.4 meters from the centerline, which can lead to issues with directional control and increased risk of runway excursion.

Overall, the landing was not executed to the desired standards, with several critical factors contributing to the score of 54.9%. These issues highlight the importance of proper aircraft configuration, speed management, and alignment during landing to ensure a safe and efficient operation.
