The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport, EDSB. This stage of the flight took six minutes and covered a distance of one nautical mile. Upon reaching the runway, the Airbus A321 aircraft initiated a departure roll from runway 03, achieving liftoff speed of 144 knots.

The conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a local temperature of 13 °C and a wind of 15 knots at 39 °. The aircraft's performance in the face of this wind was notable, with a takeoff distance of only 626 meters, which represented only 25 percent of the runway length. This was a result of the 15-knot headwind that significantly aided the takeoff process.

Once airborne, the aircraft commenced an enroute climb, which began overhead Hugelsheim in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The climb involved an ascent from a ground elevation of 1,421 feet to 3,935 feet, a total increase of 2,514 feet over a distance of eight nautical miles. This phase of the flight was completed in just three minutes.

After the enroute climb, the aircraft levelled off in a cruise phase that began overhead Otigheim. This level flight lasted for seven minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. Following this period of steady flight, the aircraft started its descent from a level of 3,338 feet to a lower altitude of 1,696 feet over a distance of five nautical miles, a decrease of 1,642 feet over three minutes.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated a final approach to runway 03 at EDSB, coming in from the southwest over a distance of four nautical miles. The aircraft's altitude during this stage of the flight was 1,286 feet above ground level, and the pilot maintained a heading of 32.0 °.

Upon landing, the aircraft's performance was once again notable. Touchdown occurred on the runway 03, which had a length of 2,483 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed, although slightly above the target, did not pose any issues. The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 369 meters, but the touchdown speed of 119 knots was a bit higher than ideal. The touchdown rate, however, was firm at -332 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were slightly different from those at takeoff, with a temperature of 12 °C and a wind of 22 knots at 29 °. The headwind during this phase of the flight was 22 knots, which aided the landing process, while the crosswind was minimal at only one knot.

In conclusion, this flight covered a total distance of 39 nautical miles, taking 18 minutes to complete. It utilized 895 kilograms of fuel, a figure that reflects the efficient performance of the Airbus A321 aircraft under varying weather conditions.

Landing on runway 03 at EDSB Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 98.41 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully completed a landing at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (EDSB), achieving a score of 98.4%. The final approach was initiated from a southwest direction, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) with an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl).

As the aircraft touched down on runway 03 at EDSB, the results indicated a good threshold height, suggesting that the approach was conducted at the optimum height for a smooth touchdown. However, the threshold speed of 122 knots was slightly above the target, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing roll. The aircraft managed to maintain good control over the touchdown distance, landing at an impressive 369 meters from the threshold.

Despite the acceptable touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was slightly above the recommended range. A slightly higher landing speed may have resulted in a slightly more firm touchdown rate, which in this case was measured at -332 feet per minute (fpm). This landing speed is slightly faster than the normal recommended 115 kt. However, such speeds are still considered acceptable in many cases.

Another notable aspect of this landing was the excellent runway touchdown alignment. This suggests that the pilots expertly managed the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway, ensuring a smooth and controlled touchdown. On a cold morning like the temperature, 12 °C, at the time of landing in combination with a slight head wind of 22 kt the head wind greatly affected the aircraft, as can be seen from the slight touchdown speed increase which would have been less if it would have been a tail wind situation as the speed would have been a lot faster.
