What went well

Touched down at -123 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 34 ft and 139 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 2.8 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 65 %, −0.93 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 6.3 ° at 89 %, −0.15 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 87 %, −0.14 points

Top opportunity

Slow the descent speed

Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Flight narrative

Departing from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW), 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 reached the end of runway 21R, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 6,326-foot runway, which represented 74% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots, overcoming a headwind of 1 knot and a crosswind of 4 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from KDTW, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,624 feet above sea level to 17,004 feet in a mere 15 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 36-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 17,004 feet, covering a distance of 206 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated another climb phase, this time ascending from 17,015 feet to 31,977 feet in just 11 minutes, covering 81 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise, the aircraft began its descent, descending from 32,011 feet to 1,700 feet in 19 minutes, covering 118 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached Raleigh-Durham International Airport (KRDU), it initiated its final approach to runway 05L, aligning itself with the runway from the southwest. The aircraft touched down 553 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was slightly faster than ideal. However, the touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute was excellent, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 498 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 14,509 pounds of fuel during the journey, which took approximately 93 minutes.
