Landing on runway 16 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 94.04 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, with a score of 93.7%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level.

The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, with a threshold speed of 146 knots being achieved. This indicates that the pilot maintained a suitable speed for the approach, taking into account the runway length and other factors. The touchdown distance of 220 meters was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and the runway conditions.

However, the touchdown rate of -644 feet per minute was considered heavy, which may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown or used a more gradual descent. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 219°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make adjustments to the approach and landing, but the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were sufficient to handle the challenge.

The total landing distance of 882 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and knowledge of the aircraft's performance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, and the pilot could benefit from further training to refine their skills in this area.
