Departing from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 18L, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 35 °C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 180°, resulting in a 15-knot headwind. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 175 knots, utilizing 55% of the available runway length of 2,259 meters.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 1,635 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,355 feet, a vertical increase of 33,720 feet. This climb phase, which lasted 13 minutes and covered a distance of 139 nautical miles, was initiated 1 mile south of the departure airport. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it maintained a steady altitude and airspeed for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 772 nautical miles. The cruise phase concluded 1 mile west of the Portlock Airfield, and the aircraft subsequently began its enroute descent phase.

As the aircraft descended from a cruising altitude of 36,027 feet to an initial approach altitude of 1,559 feet, it covered a distance of 123 nautical miles in 17 minutes. The final approach to runway 27 at San Diego International Airport was conducted from the east, with the aircraft aligning with the runway at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,527 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 141 knots and a touchdown distance of 379 meters, which represented 63% of the available runway length. The aircraft utilized a total of 7,327 kilograms of fuel to complete the 1,044-nautical-mile journey, which lasted 72 minutes.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 141 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's descent was controlled, resulting in a touchdown distance of 379 m, which was within the expected parameters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 135 kt was slightly above the ideal range, but the touchdown rate of -193 fpm was good, indicating a controlled deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway.
