Landing on runway 34 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 98.46 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, achieving a score of 98.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 34, which has a length of 1,815 meters.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The touchdown speed of 150 knots was faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to the overrun. However, the touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a headwind of 19 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which made the landing process easier. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown.

The total landing distance of 1,151 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly after touchdown and come to a stop within a short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a short distance. However, the touchdown speed and overrun beyond the touchdown zone suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement in the landing technique.
