What went well

Touched down at -348 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 284 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 1.65 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 13.65 m right at 61 %, −0.56 points
Arrival Touchdown — Speed at touchdown 145 kt at 87 %, −0.18 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was well above target at 152 kt at 92 %, −0.15 points

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 14 m off the runway centreline.

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

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Hold the approach speed back toward 45 ft with power and let the aircraft descend to the normal flare band before rounding out.

What happened: The flare began early at 60 ft, well above the normal band, and the aircraft touched down fast at 145 kt against a vref of 137 kt. An early flare like this usually carries extra speed through to touchdown rather than bleeding it off.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare within the normal band near 45 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

Landing on runway 16 at EICK Cork Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 98.01 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 demonstrated a nearly flawless landing at Cork Airport, securing an impressive 98.0% score. The aircraft approached runway 16 from the north, at a bearing of 160.0º and 4 nautical miles away. At an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level, it set up for a smooth final approach.

Upon landing on runway 16, the aircraft successfully cleared the threshold at a suitable height. However, its touchdown speed came in slightly above the target, reaching 152 knots. This was likely due to the aircraft's weight and the pilots' decision to maintain a higher than necessary approach speed.

Notwithstanding this slight deviation, the aircraft's touchdown distance of 284 meters was well within acceptable limits. Nevertheless, its touchdown speed of 145 knots was notably fast, indicating a high energy state upon descent. This excessive speed might have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -297 feet per minute, which could have resulted in a slightly bumpy ride for passengers.

Despite these minor issues, the aircraft maintained a perfect runway touchdown alignment, ensuring a safe and stable landing. Favorable local weather conditions, including a temperature of 16°C and wind of 28 kt at 150°, played a significant role in the success of the landing.

The Airbus A321 experienced considerable headwinds, 27 kt, but the strong crosswind component, just 5 kt, posed minimal challenges for the aircraft. The headwinds likely contributed to the efficient performance of the aircraft during landing, as it managed to cover a total distance of 811 meters, which is a mere 38% of the runway's length.

The aircraft demonstrated impeccable control during the rollout, with excellent runway alignment, ultimately ensuring a safe and smooth landing experience.
