What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 44 %, −0.77 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 7.34 m at 84 %, −0.39 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown VSI was -668 fpm. at 80 %, −0.29 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 21 at Dunedin International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,029 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 270°. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Dunedin International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,005 feet above sea level to 22,136 feet, an increase of 21,131 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began 13 miles west of Roxburgh, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting 8 miles south of Kingston, where it descended from 22,150 feet to 3,264 feet, a decrease of 18,886 feet in 15 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles.

The aircraft then underwent several climbs and descents, starting with a climb from 3,425 feet to 5,883 feet over Queenstown International Airport, an increase of 2,458 feet in 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent from 5,877 feet to 2,343 feet in 3 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.

The aircraft then climbed from 2,326 feet to 5,892 feet over Queenstown, an increase of 3,566 feet in 3 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 3 miles west of Arrowtown, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began its descent, starting 4 miles northwest of Queenstown, where it descended from 5,652 feet to 1,609 feet, a decrease of 4,043 feet in 4 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 05 at Queenstown International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 78.0° at 1 nautical mile and 433 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 228 meters and a touchdown speed of 143 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was heavy at -668 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 169°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,112 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 124 nautical miles, taking 55 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,762 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 05 at NZQN Queenstown International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
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.
