Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing on runway 02 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 97.15 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 16.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,142 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 02, which has a length of 7,020 feet.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was a bit faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -420 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown distance of 1,090 feet was within acceptable limits.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable approach.

The total landing distance of 4,819 feet was 69% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 97.2%.
