Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken.

Flight narrative

This airplane, an Airbus A321, embarked on a comprehensive flight journey, starting from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, where it departed from runway 36L. The taxiing process from the parking to the runway took about 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.

As the aircraft took off, it reached a liftoff speed of 174 kt, covering about 71% of the runway's length of 2,373 meters. Local weather conditions at takeoff consisted of a temperature of 27 °C and wind speeds of 8 kt at a 20° angle, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 7 kt.

Following the departure roll, the aircraft began its enroute climb, initiating the ascent 2 miles east of San Sebastian de los Reyes, Spain, from an elevation of 2,988 feet above sea level (asl) to 34,297 ft asl, a rise of 31,309 ft in just 24 minutes, covering a distance of 158 nautical miles.

After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise at an altitude of 34,297 ft asl, starting approximately 1 mile south east of Selaya, Cantabria, Spain. The level cruise lasted 45 minutes, covering an impressive 322 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft initiated an enroute descent overhead Requeil, France, with a decrease of altitude from 33,415 ft asl to 5,346 ft asl over a distance of 96 nautical miles, within a time span of 16 minutes.

The enroute descent and level cruise process continued with multiple phases, with the aircraft touching altitudes varying between 4,797 ft asl and 3,946 ft asl over the course of 11 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 26L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 265.0° at an altitude of 1,243 ft above ground level (agl). The Airbus A321 touched down safely on runway 26L, although the touchdown speed at 135 kt was slightly above the recommended limit. The touchdown rate was, however, satisfactory, at -164 feet per minute (fpm).

As the aircraft rolled out of the landing, it covered a total distance of 1,719 meters, which accounted for about 64% of the runway's length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centreline.

After completing its landing, the Airbus A321 taxied towards the parking area, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The total flight distance covered was 639 nautical miles, taking a total of 117 minutes and consuming around 5,448 kilograms of fuel. The comprehensive journey concluded the flight successfully, marking a significant milestone in its operational record.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in aircraft operation. The final approach to the runway was executed from the east, aligning with the recommended heading of 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down smoothly, achieving a threshold speed of 140 knots, which is considered optimal for the given runway conditions.

However, upon further inspection, it was noted that the touchdown point was somewhat premature, occurring 271 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than the recommended rate, indicating that the aircraft could have benefited from slightly tighter control during the landing configuration. Conversely, the touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute was found to be within acceptable parameters, suggesting a good balance between speed and descent rate.

Weather conditions at the time of the landing were generally favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a moderate headwind of 7 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal, measuring only 1 knot, allowing for a relatively straightforward landing execution. In accordance with standard procedures, the aircraft touched down in the middle of the runway, albeit with a slight misalignment of 9.2 meters from the centerline.

Post-landing analysis revealed that the runway rollout alignment was not entirely nominal, deviating from the centerline by 9.2 meters in the same direction as the touchdown point. Despite this, the aircraft came to a stop within an acceptable distance of 1,719 meters, covering approximately 64% of the available runway length. Overall, this landing exercise demonstrated a clear understanding of the aircraft's handling characteristics and a high degree of situational awareness, but highlighted areas for improvement in terms of touchdown point accuracy and speed management.
