The flight in the Airbus A321 began with a taxi from the parking area to the runway at LIRN Naples International Airport. The taxi took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon entering the runway 24, the average speed was 6 knots. The departure roll from the runway was initiated, with a takeoff distance of 1,536 meters, covering 75% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots. The local weather at the time showed a temperature of 15°C, with a 5 knot wind coming from 189°, resulting in a 3 knot crosswind and headwind.

The departure climb to various altitudes above ground level (agl) was smooth, progressing from 50 ft agl, to 400 ft agl, and finally reaching 1,000 ft agl. The enroute climb began over Vicaria in Campania, Italy, increasing the altitude from 1,233 ft asl to 31,532 ft asl, covering a total distance of 126 nautical miles in 20 minutes.

After reaching the enroute level cruise over Mottola in Puglia, Italy, the aircraft maintained its altitude for 7 minutes, covering 56 nm. The descent was initiated 6 miles north of LINL Lecce-San Cataldo Lepore Airfield in Lecce, Italy, descending from 31,172 ft asl to 378 ft asl, covering 91 nm in 20 minutes.

The final approach to runway 16 at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport was from the north, with a heading of 170.0° at 1 nm and 349 ft agl. The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a threshold speed of 145 knots. The touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots and a good touchdown rate of -177 ft/m. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10.2 m from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 1,237 m, covering 65% of the runway. The rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 m from the centerline. Upon exiting the runway, the average speed during taxiing was 12 knots. The taxi to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 278 nm, lasting 64 minutes, and consuming 3,004 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 16 at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 89.4 %

Landing Summary

Overall, the aircraft landing score of 89.4% is a solid result, but there are areas that can be improved upon for a smoother and safer landing experience.

Starting with the Approach Phase, the excellent glideslope alignment and good threshold speed of 145 knots are commendable. These factors contribute to a stable approach, which is crucial for a successful landing. However, it is important to ensure that the threshold height is consistently maintained to avoid any sudden changes in altitude that can affect the landing.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, while the threshold height was good, the landing flare was noted as very poor. The landing flare is a critical component of a safe landing as it helps reduce the descent rate and ensures a smoother touchdown. Improving the execution of the landing flare will result in a more controlled and gentle landing.

In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate of -177 ft/min and touchdown speed of 136 knots are both within acceptable parameters. However, the fact that the touchdown point was 208 meters beyond the touchdown zone is a cause for concern. It is essential to ensure that the aircraft touches down within the designated touchdown zone to optimize runway utilization and facilitate an efficient landing process. Additionally, the misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 10.2 meters from the centerline highlights the importance of maintaining proper alignment during the landing phase.

In conclusion, while the aircraft landing score of 89.4% is a positive outcome, there are clear areas for improvement. Focusing on executing a smoother landing flare, maintaining proper alignment and touchdown point accuracy, will contribute to a more successful and safe landing in the future. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in every aspect of the landing process.
