Departure Roll

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.

Flight narrative

This flight was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft, departing from Queenstown International Airport (NZQN) in New Zealand. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 05, taking off with a takeoff distance of 1,021 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 141 knots.

During the initial climb, the aircraft started ascending 1 mile east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 2,039 feet above sea level to 1,876 feet above sea level, an increase of 163 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of departure and climb were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 59 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.

As the aircraft approached the final approach to runway 05, it was heading southwest at an altitude of 688 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. However, the crew decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 20 feet above ground level. The aircraft then proceeded to land on runway 05, which had a length of 1,771 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 118 knots.

The touchdown distance was recorded at 441 meters, and the touchdown speed was 106 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -49 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those during departure and climb, with a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 60 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 5-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 1,232 meters, accounting for 70% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. The aircraft used 487 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 05 at NZQN Queenstown International Airport in the Airbus A320
Landing Score 98.32 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Queenstown International Airport (NZQN) on runway 05, achieving a high score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 45.0° at 1 nautical mile and 688 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target at 123 knots, but still within acceptable limits. The landing distance was good, with the aircraft touching down at 441 meters from the start of the runway. The touchdown speed of 106 knots was also within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -49 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft deviating 4.4 meters from the centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind component, which was 2 knots, and the headwind, which was 5 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 60°, may have also contributed to the slight deviation.

Despite the minor misalignment, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll. The total landing distance of 1,232 meters was 70% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway's length of 1,771 meters.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise alignment with the runway centerline.
