Threshold crossed at 33 ft and 149 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 175 kt at 92 %, −0.11 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 15.3 ft left at 94 %, −0.11 points
Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 95 %, −0.10 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 157 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 175 kt, 18 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 157 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm). The departure roll took place on runway 25R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 175 knots (kt) after covering a takeoff distance of 7,032 feet, which was 63% of the runway length.

As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 0 kt at 72°. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of El Segundo, California, and lasted for 23 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,162 feet above sea level (asl) to 35,098 ft asl, an increase of 33,936 feet. This climb covered a distance of 142 nm.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 5 miles southeast of the Julian Hinds Pump Plant Airstrip Hayfield in California. This cruise phase lasted for 111 minutes and covered a distance of 928 nm. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Jarrell, Texas, and descending from 35,295 ft asl to 20,348 ft asl, a decrease of 14,947 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 56 nm.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile southwest of the Texas A And M Flight Test Station Airport Bryan in Texas, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering 10 nm. The next descent started 5 miles southeast of the Easterwood Field College Station Airport in Texas, and the aircraft descended from 20,254 ft asl to 6,395 ft asl, a decrease of 13,859 feet, in 9 minutes and covering 42 nm.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead the May Houston in Texas, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering 22 nm. The next descent started 4 miles south of Humble, Texas, and the aircraft descended from 6,027 ft asl to 1,358 ft asl, a decrease of 4,669 feet, in 6 minutes and covering 4 nm.

The final approach to runway 27 at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). The landing took place on a runway length of 9,971 feet, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 149 kt. The touchdown distance was good at 1,334 feet, but the touchdown speed at 145 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 4 kt at 80°, with a crosswind of 1 kt and a tailwind of 4 kt. The total landing distance was 5,878 feet, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 1,214 nm, and the flight duration was 173 minutes, with the aircraft using 17,287 pounds of fuel.

Landing on runway 27 at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 98.78 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 27, which has a length of 9,971 feet.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 149 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 1,334 feet, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable descent. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.

The touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively smoothly. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 80°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind was 4 knots, which did not significantly impact the aircraft's performance.

The total landing distance was 5,878 feet, which is 59% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to execute a safe and controlled touchdown on runway 27 at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport.
