Landing on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 88.85 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south-west, heading 43.0° at 1 nm and 245 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 kt.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was within the acceptable range at 401 m, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 kt. The touchdown rate was also hard at -413 fpm, indicating a relatively steep descent. One of the notable issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centre by 17.9 m from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 15 °C and wind speeds of 11 kt at 20°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 5 kt, while the headwind component was 10 kt. The total landing distance was 892 m, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again misaligned by 17.6 m from the centreline.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal parameters, including a slightly fast touchdown speed, hard touchdown rate, and significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment. These issues highlight the importance of precise control and adherence to standard operating procedures during landing operations.
