The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31L at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK). The aircraft, an Airbus A321, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 144 knots. The takeoff distance was 903 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 223 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of Howard Beach, New York. The climb was initiated from an altitude of 997 feet above sea level and continued to an altitude of 1,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,002 feet in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Later in the flight, the aircraft began its enroute descent overhead East New York, New York. The descent was from an altitude of 2,012 feet above sea level to 1,155 feet above sea level, a decrease of 857 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles during this descent.

The final approach to runway 04 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 32.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,132 feet above ground level at this point.

The landing on runway 04 at KLGA was characterized by a threshold height that was slightly above the target, and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 133 knots. The touchdown point was 65 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -227 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 223 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,428 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown.

The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,828 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 04 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 98.72 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 04, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 32.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,132 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway touchdown zone.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 65 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the target. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was a bit faster than the target, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. However, the touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 223°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed. The runway length of 2,135 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,428 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, despite a few minor deviations from the target parameters. The high score of 98.7% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in executing a safe and efficient landing.
