Landing on runway 28R at KPBI Palm Beach International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 97.11 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 established a final approach to runway 28R at KPBI from the east, maintaining a heading of 273.0° while descending to 126 ft agl at the threshold with a temperature of 29 °C, wind 11 kt from 240°, a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.

Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 142 kt, indicating the aircraft was marginally faster than the desired reference at the flare point.

Touchdown occurred 210 m down the runway at a speed of 137 kt, described as a little fast, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 140 fpm; the touchdown point was laterally offset by 8.4 m from the centreline.

The rollout covered a total distance of 1,113 m, representing 40 % of the 2,796 m runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was slightly misaligned by 8.1 m from the centreline.

With a final score of 97.1 %, the landing was strong; refining lateral alignment to keep the touchdown and rollout within a tighter centreline tolerance will further improve precision, and targeting the exact threshold speed will eliminate the small excess speed observed.
