The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,032 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,680 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC). This process took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 16R, and the takeoff distance was 5,940 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32°F and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of KSLC, rising from an altitude of 5,228 feet above sea level to 35,500 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 79 nautical miles, took 21 minutes and resulted in an increase of 30,272 feet in altitude.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles north of Altamont, Utah. This phase of the flight lasted for 177 minutes and covered a distance of 1,493 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles south of Cuyler Field in Glen St. Mary, Florida. During this descent, the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 36,426 feet above sea level to 1,364 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,062 feet in 28 minutes and covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at Orlando International Airport (KMCO) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 360° at an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 9,032 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots. The touchdown point was 321 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -81 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 15 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 4,725 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,706 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 248 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 21,801 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,258 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 35R, which has a length of 9,032 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown point was 321 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation, but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 132 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -81 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 11 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance was 4,725 feet, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. The minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and runway alignment do not detract from the overall success of the landing, and the pilot's skills and techniques were demonstrated to be effective in a variety of conditions.
