Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft in question was an Airbus A321, and it departed from runway 09L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The takeoff distance was 2,623 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 172 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 179°. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of Forest Park, Georgia, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,994 feet above sea level to 17,507 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,513 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of Molena, Georgia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. However, this was followed by another climb phase, which started 4 miles west of Shiloh, Georgia, and took the aircraft to an altitude of 33,723 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,731 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of AL77 Smart Road Airport Troy, Alabama, and lasted for 52 minutes, covering a distance of 1,138 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 6 miles east of NM86 Playas Air Strip Playas, New Mexico, and took the aircraft to an altitude of 36,035 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,661 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northeast of NM70 Rodeo Airport Rodeo, New Mexico, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 296 nautical miles. However, this was followed by a descent phase, which started 10 miles northwest of Winterhaven, California, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 36,046 feet above sea level to 1,492 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,554 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 27 at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) was made from the east, heading 286.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,465 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 2,094 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 451 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -74 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 290°. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,371 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway length.

The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight

Landing on runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 96.69 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) with a score of 96.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 286.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,465 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 2,094 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 141 knots, indicating a good approach configuration. The touchdown distance of 451 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly higher than the recommended value, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.

The touchdown rate of -74 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 1,371 meters was 65% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the rollout path.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the recommended approach and landing procedures. These deviations were likely due to the wind conditions and the pilot's response to them. Nevertheless, the aircraft was brought to a safe stop within a reasonable distance, and the score of 96.7% reflects the overall quality of the landing.
