The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,626 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,626 m of the 2,437 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 331 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321neo taxied from the parking area to runway 04L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport in 14 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04L, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 1,030 m (40 % of the runway) and lifted off at 164 kt; ambient temperature was 15 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 031°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind.
The initial climb commenced 1 mile south of Newark, climbing from 1,048 ft asl to 31,781 ft asl-a gain of 30,733 ft-in 20 minutes while traversing 119 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile west of Mountville, Pennsylvania, and was maintained for 17 minutes, during which 115 nm were covered.
A subsequent climb started 1 mile west of Wardensville, West Virginia, rising from 32,461 ft asl to 33,989 ft asl, an increase of 1,528 ft in 3 minutes and covering 24 nm.
The next cruise segment originated 7 miles south of Petersburg, West Virginia, lasting 35 minutes and extending over 274 nm.
Descent began 2 miles north-east of 53KY Short Airport Eubank, Kentucky, descending from 33,493 ft asl to 4,406 ft asl-a loss of 29,087 ft-in 22 minutes while covering 136 nm.
A brief cruise was flown 4 miles north-west of 0TN5 McDonald Airport Murfreesboro, Tennessee, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 6 nm.
The following descent started 4 miles north-west of TN97 Triune Airfield Nashville, Tennessee, dropping from 4,004 ft asl to 2,490 ft asl, a decrease of 1,514 ft in 2 minutes over 6 nm.
A final cruise segment commenced 5 miles east of Franklin, Tennessee, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nm.
On final approach to runway 02R at KBNA Nashville International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,328 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 102 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 02R was executed with a threshold speed of 141 kt; touchdown occurred 334 m down the runway at 140 kt with a vertical speed of minus 204 fpm, and the total landing distance was 1,529 m (63 % of the runway). Local conditions were 17 °C, wind 3 kt from 296°, a 3 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 13 minutes, covering 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 697 nm, required 126 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 4,807 kg of fuel.
The approach to runway 02R at KBNA Nashville International Airport was stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,328 ft AGL to 63 ft AGL in 102 seconds, maintaining the required parameters throughout the final approach.
At the threshold the aircraft established a speed of 141 kt, which was recorded as good, and the flare produced a touchdown distance of 334 m, also judged good. Touchdown speed was 140 kt, rated good, while the vertical rate at touchdown was -204 fpm, assessed as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was described as very good, and the threshold height was noted as good.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 140 kt, a vertical rate of -204 fpm and very good alignment, under local conditions of 17 °C temperature, a 3 kt wind from 296°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind component.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,529 m, representing 63 % of the 2,437 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was rated very good.
The primary refinement is to smooth the flare to reduce the -204 fpm touchdown rate while keeping the touchdown speed within one knot of the 141 kt threshold speed, which will further improve the already high overall score.
