Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 142 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 185 fpm.

See Arrival Landing

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 01 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA). The takeoff distance was 1,281 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the Washington Potomac Washington (District of Columbia, United States) area, where it climbed from an altitude of 1,063 feet above sea level to 33,405 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,342 feet in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 3 miles south of Moorefield (West Virginia, United States) and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 457 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 4 miles southwest of Cerro Gordo Airport (Cerro Gordo, Illinois, United States), where it climbed from an altitude of 34,045 feet above sea level to 35,486 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,441 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile west of Leigh Farm Airport (Sparland, Illinois, United States) and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 589 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles southwest of Holyoke (Colorado, United States), where it descended from an altitude of 35,999 feet above sea level to 6,759 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,240 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 136 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 34R at Denver International Airport (KDEN) was made from the south, with a heading of 1.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,390 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34R, which had a length of 3,670 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots.

The touchdown point was 190 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -242 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 1,792 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,315 nautical miles, which was covered in 80 minutes, and the aircraft used 8,249 kilograms of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 95.65 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport on runway 34R, achieving a score of 95.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,390 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 190 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed was measured at 130 knots, which is also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been slowed down more efficiently during the landing roll.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 9 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was only 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.

The total landing distance was 1,792 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and the runway length. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was brought to a stop in a controlled manner. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and touchdown position alignment.
