Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Christchurch International Airport, taking 11 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 02, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 165 knots after covering 55% of the 1,811-meter runway.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and winds of 10 knots at 69 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of Christchurch International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,084 feet above sea level to 21,397 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,313 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles north of Cheviot, Canterbury, New Zealand. This phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 24 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began overhead Kaikoura Airport, with the aircraft descending from 21,477 feet above sea level to 2,952 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,526 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 19 miles south of Wellington International Airport. This phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 9 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 10 miles south of Wellington International Airport, with the aircraft descending from 2,963 feet above sea level to 1,328 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,635 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 34 at Wellington International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 3.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway length of 1,815 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above the target speed at 155 knots.

The touchdown point was 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 150 knots, which was considered fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -206 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and winds of 19 knots at 10 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 19 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,151 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 168 nautical miles, taking 50 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,246 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 34 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
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.
