The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 506 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 08R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,829 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Hapeville, Georgia. The climb took 17 minutes and covered 155 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 2,121 feet above sea level to 36,558 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,438 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 7 miles south west of Hickory Grove, South Carolina. This cruise phase lasted 12 minutes and covered 205 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of W31 Lunenburg Co Kenbridge, Virginia. The descent took 17 minutes and covered 126 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 36,502 feet above sea level to 3,086 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,416 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north east of Wolf Trap, Virginia. This cruise phase lasted only 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Potomac, Maryland. The descent took 4 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 2,913 feet above sea level to 194 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,719 feet.
The final approach to runway 19 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 176.0 degrees at 0 nautical miles and 172 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 19, which had a length of 2,190 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 92 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -253 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,233 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 506 nautical miles, and the flight used 3,970 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, scoring a high 94.5% on its performance. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 176.0° at an altitude of 172 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was made to runway 19, which has a length of 2,190 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 146 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was 92 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -253 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation by the pilot or a minor deviation in the aircraft's trajectory. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C and a headwind of 15 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which made the landing even more manageable.
The total landing distance was 1,233 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A321 performed well during the landing, with a high score of 94.5%. While there were some minor deviations in the touchdown point and runway alignment, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently, despite the challenging weather conditions.
