The flight in question was a commercial operation using an Airbus A321 aircraft. The aircraft's journey started with a 10-minute taxiing session from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of approximately 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 05L at Manchester Airport (EGCC), with a takeoff distance of 1,432 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, amidst local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a 14-knot wind at 329 degrees.

Initially, there was a slight crosswind of 14 knots, while the headwind component was relatively minor at 2 knots. As the aircraft climbed, it began to ascend from an altitude of 1,269 feet to 18,555 feet above sea level, a total increase of 17,286 feet, in just 7 minutes and covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. This climb phase started approximately 1 mile northeast of Manchester Airport.

The enroute level cruise phase commenced 1 mile east of Colwich, in Staffordshire, England, and lasted for 2 minutes while covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. However, this relatively short cruise phase was soon interrupted by a second climb phase, which began 1 mile south of Shenstone, also in Staffordshire. During this second climb, the aircraft ascended from 18,574 feet to 36,404 feet above sea level, which accounted for a total increase of 17,830 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.

A third level cruise phase then took place, as the aircraft maintained a steady altitude at an unspecified location overhead Offham, in Kent, England. This cruise phase lasted for a longer duration of 30 minutes and covered a significant distance of 229 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft began its enroute descent phase approximately 1 mile south east of Goesdorf, in Luxembourg, and descended from 36,977 feet to 1,696 feet above sea level, in just 25 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (EDSB), it initiated its final approach phase to runway 03 from the southwest, heading at an angle of 32.0 degrees, with a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. Eventually, the aircraft landed safely on the runway, recording a touchdown speed slightly above the target speed at 143 knots.

The landing on runway 03 measured 288 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 138 knots indicated that the aircraft touched down a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -422 feet per minute was considered hard. A thorough assessment revealed that the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather at the airport consisted of a 16°C temperature and a 10-knot wind at 40 degrees.

The aircraft's crosswind component was relatively minor at 1 knot, while the headwind component contributed significantly, at 10 knots. The aircraft's total landing distance of 1,029 meters accounted for 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was equally impressive, indicating that the aircraft had been effectively controlled during touchdown and rollout.

Eventually, the aircraft was taxied to the parking area from the runway in 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance covered was 503 nautical miles, which took 95 minutes to complete. The aircraft used approximately 4,603 kilograms of fuel throughout the journey.

Landing on runway 03 at EDSB Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 97.86 %

Landing Summary

A comprehensive analysis of the Airbus A321 aircraft landing at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (EDSB) has been conducted. The aircraft executed a final approach to runway 03, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 32.0°. The altitude at 4 nautical miles from the runway was 1,280 feet above ground level (agl), indicating a stable and controlled descent.

The landing on runway 03 at EDSB was deemed successful, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was observed to be slightly above the target, reaching 143 knots. This might be an indication of the aircraft not fully utilizing its reverse thrust or the pilots not fully engaging the landing flaps. Additionally, the touchdown distance was calculated at 288 meters, which falls within the acceptable range for the given runway length.

One area of improvement that was noted was the touchdown speed, which was a little fast at 138 knots. A faster-than-desired touchdown speed can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially cause uneven weight distribution upon touchdown. Furthermore, the touchdown rate was hard at -422 feet per minute (fpm), which may be an indication of the aircraft not fully dissipating its kinetic energy during touchdown.

On a more positive note, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, showcasing the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft post-touchdown.

In terms of environmental conditions, the landing was conducted in a moderate temperature of 16 °C with a headwind of 10 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, indicating that crosswind was not a significant factor in the landing. Overall, the landing was deemed successful with a total landing distance of 1,029 meters, representing only 41% of the available runway length.
