What held you back

Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 6.30 m right at 88 %, −0.36 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -306 fpm at 93 %, −0.13 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 92 %, −0.13 points

Next time

Arrival

Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.

What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.2 ft, and this flight then touched down at 281 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSAN San Diego International Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 27, with the aircraft taking off after covering 71% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,484 meters, and the liftoff speed was 156 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of KSAN, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,029 feet above sea level to 33,759 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,729 feet in 12 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 112 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 8 miles north of MMEH Morelos Airstrip Ejido Tabasco in Mexico, and lasted for 15 minutes, covering 426 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 3 miles northwest of Pajarito Mesa in New Mexico, and rose from 34,349 feet to 36,438 feet, an increase of 2,089 feet in 2 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise, starting 3 miles southeast of Sedillo in New Mexico, and lasted for 55 minutes, covering 1,491 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 5 miles north of 2DE8 Murphy's Landing Airport in Delaware, and descended from 36,506 feet to 358 feet, a decrease of 36,148 feet in 19 minutes, covering 122 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 122.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 332 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 13L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots and a touchdown rate of -306 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 276 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 190 degrees.

The total landing distance was 1,341 meters, which was 55% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,183 nautical miles, and the flight used 12,003 kilograms of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway 13L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 97.6 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 13L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport with a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 122.0° at 1 nautical mile and 332 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 276 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -306 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.3 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to various factors, including wind conditions or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,341 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft during the landing phase. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft even after touchdown.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the aircraft's performance. However, the slight deviation in the runway touchdown position and the minor misalignment of the aircraft with the centerline are areas that could be improved upon in future landings.
