Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.3 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 30L, with the aircraft taking off after covering 51% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,554 meters, and the liftoff speed was 157 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind component was 18 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,824 feet above sea level to 34,889 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,065 feet in 14 minutes and covering 141 nautical miles.

After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles west of Tribitt Airport in South Dakota. This phase lasted for 27 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 625 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 11 miles north of Kemmerer Municipal Airport in Wyoming. The descent from 34,883 feet above sea level to 18,441 feet above sea level took 13 minutes and covered 76 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Brigham City in Utah. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 1 mile west of Brigham City. The descent from 18,128 feet above sea level to 6,137 feet above sea level took 13 minutes and covered 49 nautical miles.

The aircraft then climbed from 6,123 feet above sea level to 11,388 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,265 feet in 5 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting 3 miles north of Magna in Utah. The descent from 11,389 feet above sea level to 5,347 feet above sea level took 7 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 34L at Salt Lake City International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 355.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,099 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which was 3,660 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots.

The touchdown point was 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 139 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 35°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 324 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,649 meters, which was 45% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 914 nautical miles, and the flight took 90 minutes. The aircraft used 7,731 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 34L at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 97.66 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC) on runway 34L, achieving a score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,099 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 kt, registering at 143 kt. However, the touchdown speed of 139 kt was a bit faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35°C and a wind speed of 7 kt from 324°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 6 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,649 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 slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed or the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good performance in various aspects of the landing.
