Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 20 at Christchurch International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,602 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 240 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from Christchurch, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 24,354 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 55 nautical miles, took 12 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles, before beginning its enroute descent. This descent started 7 miles north of Kaikoura and took the aircraft down to an altitude of 1,335 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,065 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 16 at Wellington International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at an altitude of 24 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed safely on runway 16, with a touchdown distance of 220 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 142 knots, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -644 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 219 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 882 meters, and the total flight distance was 182 nautical miles, taking a total of 63 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,247 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 16 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
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.
