The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 27 at San Diego International Airport (KSAN), with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with no wind.

As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its ascent 2 miles west of KSAN, rising from an initial altitude of 1,138 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 37,865 feet above sea level. This climb phase took 24 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 161 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 588 nautical miles. This phase began 4 miles north of Tejon Agricultural Airport (97CA) in California.

The aircraft's descent phase began 11 miles north of Santiam Junction State Airport (8S3) in Oregon, where it descended from an altitude of 37,956 feet above sea level to 6,675 feet above sea level. This descent took 16 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 75 nautical miles. This phase began 8 miles northeast of Walters Arv Ultralightport (WN80) in Washington.

The aircraft's final descent phase began overhead Vashon, Washington, where it descended from an altitude of 6,470 feet above sea level to 5,171 feet above sea level. This descent took 2 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles southeast of Bainbridge Island, Washington. The aircraft's final descent phase began 2 miles southwest of Shoreline, Washington, where it descended from an altitude of 4,515 feet above sea level to 1,753 feet above sea level. This descent took 4 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16R at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA), flying a heading of 180.0° at an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 16R, which had a length of 2,590 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 159 knots.

The touchdown point was 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 160 knots and a touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 171°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, and the headwind component was 12 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,385 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 966 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 153 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,626 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 16R at KSEA Seattle–Tacoma International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 94.09 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) on runway 16R, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being well within the acceptable range. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 159 knots. This may indicate that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more aggressively, resulting in a slightly longer touchdown roll.

The touchdown point was located 158 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 160 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to the slightly longer touchdown roll. The touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft was not excessively hard on the landing gear.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 171°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,385 meters was 53% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilots demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the landing. However, there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown point, which may indicate areas for improvement in future landings.
