The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 20 at Christchurch International Airport (NZCH). The takeoff distance was 1,770 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 240 degrees.
The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south west of NZCH. The climb took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,153 feet above sea level to 7,906 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,754 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles south west of Lincoln. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 7,906 feet above sea level to 1,969 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,936 feet.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight started 2 miles south east of Woodend and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 20 at NZCH was made from the north east, with a heading of 220.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 20 was characterized by a touchdown distance of 394 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -682 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 189 degrees.
The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,494 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 58 nautical miles and took 33 minutes to complete, using 1,315 kilograms of fuel.

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Christchurch International Airport, with a score of 84.4%. The final approach to runway 20 was initiated from the north east, heading 220.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 143 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 394 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -682 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly rough landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.4 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 189°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,494 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.3 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft was able to safely touch down on the runway and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The score of 84.4% suggests that there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway alignment.
