Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Queenstown International Airport (NZQN). This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with the aircraft taking off after covering 55% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 977 meters, and the liftoff speed was 138 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of Queenstown, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 90 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile east of the airport and continued for 21 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,045 feet above sea level to 36,109 feet. This climb covered a distance of 150 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Methven, New Zealand. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 13 miles northeast of Cheviot, New Zealand. The descent took 20 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 36,104 feet to 1,347 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 16 at Wellington International Airport (NZWN) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,306 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 1,815 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 127 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 9 meters, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -588 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 6 knots.

Landing on runway 16 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 91.95 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,306 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 16, which has a length of 1,815 meters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude before touching down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 127 knots, which may have been due to the pilots' decision to prioritize a safe touchdown over achieving the exact target speed.

The touchdown distance of 9 meters was good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilots managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -588 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, which may indicate that the pilots could have used a more gradual descent to reduce the impact on the aircraft's landing gear.

Despite the hard touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a headwind of 6 knots at 170°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot.

The total landing distance of 731 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.

Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at Wellington International Airport was successful, with the pilots achieving a good score of 92.0%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and threshold speed, the pilots managed to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing and achieve a safe and stable touchdown.
