Landing on runway 06R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 68.93 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft has successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 06R was initiated from the southwest, heading 65.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the landing was characterized by a number of deviations from the ideal.

One of the primary concerns was the threshold height, which was above the target height at 68 feet agl. This indicates that the aircraft was not at the optimal height for landing, which could have affected the overall stability and control of the aircraft during the landing process. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 145 knots, which suggests that the aircraft was traveling at a higher speed than necessary for a safe landing.

The touchdown point was 363 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal. This indicates that the aircraft was not aligned properly with the runway centerline, which could have contributed to the excessive misalignment during the rollout phase. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was also fast, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. Furthermore, the touchdown rate was very hard at -575 feet per minute (fpm), which is a significant concern as it could have put the passengers and crew at risk.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were also a factor. The temperature was 27°C, and the wind was blowing at 23 knots from a direction of 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 23 knots, which could have affected the aircraft's stability and control during the landing process.

The total landing distance was 1,646 meters, which is 62% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, which could indicate that the aircraft was not properly aligned with the runway centerline or that the pilot was not able to slow the aircraft down quickly enough. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 86.4 meters from the centerline, which is a significant concern as it could have put the aircraft at risk of veering off the runway.

Overall, while the Airbus A321 aircraft was able to land safely at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, the landing was not without its issues. The deviations from the ideal landing parameters, including the threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown point, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate, all contributed to a landing that was characterized by excessive misalignment and a hard touchdown.
