Landing on runway 05 at NZQN Queenstown International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 93.02 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Queenstown International Airport (NZQN) with a score of 93.0%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 78.0° at 1 nautical mile and 433 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 05, which has a length of 1,771 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was also good at 144 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly above the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate was heavy at -668 feet per minute (fpm), which may have resulted in a slightly bumpy ride for passengers.

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 8 knots at 169°. The crosswind component was also 8 knots, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,112 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's rotation and alignment with the runway after touchdown.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control over the aircraft. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown rate to achieve an even smoother and more controlled landing.
