Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 16 at Wellington International Airport (NZWN). The takeoff distance was 848 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 21 knots at 169 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Wellington International Airport, rising from 1,018 feet above sea level to 15,536 feet above sea level in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.

The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 9 miles south-east of Cape Campbell airstrip (NZBL) and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 10 miles east of Cheviot (Canterbury, New Zealand). The descent took 13 minutes, during which the aircraft dropped from 15,634 feet above sea level to 1,374 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 53 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 20 at Christchurch International Airport (NZCH) was made from the north-east, with a heading of 220.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,257 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 20, which had a length of 3,289 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 436 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -424 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,337 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 166 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. The aircraft used 2,179 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 20 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 91.2 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Christchurch International Airport, with a score of 91.2%. The final approach to runway 20 was initiated from the north east, heading 220.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 146 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.

However, there were a few areas of concern during the landing. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was a little fast, which could have contributed to a harder touchdown. The touchdown rate of -424 feet per minute (fpm) was also considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and there was no headwind.

The total landing distance of 1,337 meters was 41% of the available runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were a few areas of concern that need to be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance and safety. These include maintaining a more accurate approach path, reducing the touchdown speed, and improving the runway alignment during rollout.
