Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Queenstown International Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 138 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 121°, resulting in a 4-knot headwind and a 4-knot crosswind.

As the aircraft climbed away from Queenstown, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 2,024 feet above sea level to 36,217 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,193 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 11 miles west of Omarama, lasting 20 minutes and covering 148 nautical miles.

The enroute descent phase began 13 miles northeast of Omaha Flats Airport, with the aircraft descending from 35,907 feet above sea level to 1,319 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,588 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at Wellington International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 3.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 34 at Wellington International Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 131 knots and a distance of 277 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -267 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.9 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by the same amount.

The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 345 nautical miles, taking 71 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,941 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 34 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A321
Landing Score 91.35 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, achieving a score of 91.3%. The final approach to runway 34 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 132 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute was only fair. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 277 meters was within acceptable limits.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft's landing distance of 974 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

However, there were some issues with the alignment of the aircraft during the landing roll. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.9 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by the same distance. This suggests that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the landing roll.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment during the landing roll.
