The liftoff speed was 159 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Langenhorn, Germany. The climb took 21 minutes and covered 116 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,051 feet above sea level to 35,495 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,443 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles northwest of Slochteren, The Netherlands. This cruise phase lasted 34 minutes and covered 233 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Huttoft, England. The descent took 19 minutes and covered 83 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,327 feet above sea level to 9,976 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,351 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles northeast of Great Haywood, England. This cruise phase lasted only 3 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Derrington, England. The descent took 6 minutes and covered 21 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 9,989 feet above sea level to 1,595 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,394 feet.

The final approach to runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 146.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 15, which has a length of 2,317 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was well above the target at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 403 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -256 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 22 knots at a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 22 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,704 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centreline.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 469 nautical miles, taking 95 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,715 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 94.69 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 146.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 403 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.9 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 22 knots and a headwind component of 2 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,704 meters was 74% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient room to stop safely. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 14.6 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's rollout path.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and a relatively short total landing distance. However, there were some minor deviations in the approach and rollout paths, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
