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.
