Landing on runway 13L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 95.29 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 13L at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 122.0° at 1 nautical mile and 248 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 194 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -322 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive. This suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing, avoiding any hard or abrupt touchdowns.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway and maintained a perfect touchdown alignment.

The total landing distance of 1,604 meters was 65% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. This indicates that the pilot was able to slow the aircraft down quickly and maintain control during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled deceleration after touchdown.

Overall, this landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 95.3% reflects the quality of the landing and the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently.
