Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, with a final approach score of 98.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 16, which has a length of 1,815 meters.

The landing was executed well, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 145 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 345 meters. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -376 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessive, suggesting a controlled and stable landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions would have presented a moderate challenge to the pilot, but the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were sufficient to handle them.

The total landing distance of 1,017 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly, with a good runway rollout alignment. The rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well and the pilot executing a smooth and controlled touchdown. The high score of 98.1% reflects the quality of the landing and the pilot's skills.
