The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 233.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 385 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also within the acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -316 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 150°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,587 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft during the landing phase and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a straight line and not deviating from the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing of the Airbus A321 on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport was a textbook example of a safe and controlled landing. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the aircraft's performance, and the landing was completed with a high degree of precision and accuracy.
