Landing on runway 26R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 56.82 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 on a final approach to runway 26R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport maintained a heading of 270.0° from 4 nm out and 1,285 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At threshold the aircraft was 64 ft AGL, a height above the target, and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 133 kt.

Touchdown occurred excessively long, using more than 75 % of the available runway, with a touchdown speed of 132 kt judged good and a touchdown rate fair at minus 291 fpm. The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 50.4 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 3,479 m, 127 % of the runway length.

During rollout the aircraft remained excessively misaligned, deviating 83.8 m from the centreline.

Future landings should target the standard aim point about 300 m (1,000 ft) down the runway to reduce the touchdown point distance, and focus on maintaining centreline alignment through flare and rollout to keep deviations within acceptable limits.
