Landing on runway 23L at MMMX Benito Juárez International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 84.55 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 23L at Benito Juárez International Airport (MMMX), but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 239.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown distance of 393 meters was considered good.

However, the touchdown speed of 159 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate of -626 feet per minute (fpm) was also heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have been subjected to a significant amount of deceleration force upon touchdown. This could potentially have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components.

One of the most notable issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 19.8 meters off-centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to accurately align the aircraft with the runway during the final approach. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.2 meters from centerline, indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, and there was no headwind component. Despite these favorable conditions, the pilot was still unable to achieve a perfectly aligned landing.

Overall, while the Airbus A321 was able to safely land on runway 23L, the landing was not without its issues. The pilot's inability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway and the heavy touchdown rate suggest that additional training or practice may be necessary to improve the pilot's skills in this area.
