The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft. The journey began with an enroute climb from 36,189 feet above sea level (asl) to the same altitude, resulting in no change in elevation. This climb phase lasted for just one minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile (nm).

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, which started 12 miles northwest of YTKS Toorak Research Station Airport in Cloncurry, Queensland, Australia. This phase lasted for 220 minutes and covered a distance of 1,130 nm. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 35,314 ft asl to 36,301 ft asl, an increase of 988 ft in just two minutes, covering 13 nm. This climb phase started 45 miles southwest of Lord Howe Island in New South Wales, Australia.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which began 50 miles south of Lord Howe Island and lasted for 111 minutes, covering 838 nm. As the flight progressed, the aircraft started an enroute descent from 35,843 ft asl to 3,946 ft asl, a decrease of 31,896 ft in 19 minutes, covering 93 nm. This descent phase began 13 miles north of NZTK Takaka Airport in Takaka, New Zealand.

The aircraft then entered a brief enroute level cruise phase, lasting just three minutes, covering 5 nm, and starting 4 miles northwest of Kelburn in Wellington, New Zealand. Following this, the aircraft began another enroute descent from 3,896 ft asl to 2,930 ft asl, a decrease of 966 ft in two minutes, covering 6 nm. This descent phase started 2 miles southwest of Brooklyn in Wellington, New Zealand.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, lasting five minutes, covering 2 nm, and starting 6 miles south of NZWN Wellington International Airport in Wellington, New Zealand. As the flight neared its destination, the aircraft began another enroute descent from 2,566 ft asl to 1,308 ft asl, a decrease of 1,258 ft in two minutes, covering 4 nm. This descent phase started 8 miles south of NZWN Wellington International Airport.

The final approach to runway 34 at NZWN Wellington International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at 4 nm and 1,268 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 1,815 meters long, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was above the target at 148 kt. The touchdown distance was good at 338 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 kt. The touchdown rate was hard at -413 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.2 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 23 kt at 10°. The crosswind was 3 kt, and the headwind was 23 kt. The total landing distance was 722 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.9 meters from the centreline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking two minutes and covering a distance of less than one nm. The total flight distance was 2,096 nm, and the flight duration was 291 minutes. The aircraft used 6,270 kg of fuel during the journey.

Takeoff on runway at in the Airbus A320

Landing on runway 34 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 89.34 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, with a score of 89.3%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 338 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -413 feet per minute was also considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have been subjected to a higher-than-desired rate of descent.

One notable issue with the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 15.2 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind conditions and pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 23 knots at 10°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 23-knot headwind.

The total landing distance of 722 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.9 meters from centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have been difficult to control during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including maintaining a more controlled descent, reducing the touchdown rate, and improving the alignment of the runway touchdown position and runway rollout.
