The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Kansas City International Airport, taking 17 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 01R, with a takeoff distance of 1,095 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 151 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 15°C and winds of 21 knots at 329°. The crosswind was 14 knots, while the headwind was 15 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Kansas City International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,025 feet above sea level to 29,786 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,762 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 6 miles west of Novinger, Missouri, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began its descent 7 miles southwest of MO82 Howard Airport Gorin, descending from 29,774 feet above sea level to 4,868 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,906 feet in 29 minutes and covering 187 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles north of Plattville, Illinois, and lasting 14 minutes, covering 53 nautical miles. This was followed by another descent, starting 12 miles northeast of Evanston, Illinois, descending from 4,792 feet above sea level to 3,963 feet above sea level, a decrease of 829 feet in 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 7 miles east of Evanston, Illinois, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began its final descent, starting 2 miles east of Rogers Park, Illinois, descending from 3,961 feet above sea level to 1,956 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,004 feet in 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 27C at Chicago O'Hare International Airport was from the east, with the aircraft heading 270° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level. The landing occurred on runway 27C, which had a length of 3,237 meters. The threshold height was above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 156 knots.

The touchdown point was 853 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 139 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -249 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 15.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16°C and winds of 22 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 22 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,029 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.7 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 400 nautical miles, taking 87 minutes and using 3,951 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 80.88 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a local wind of 22 knots at 270°, resulting in a headwind of 22 knots and a crosswind of 0 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. The threshold speed was also well above the target, at 156 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or that the pilots may have been trying to maintain a higher speed to compensate for the headwind. The touchdown point was 853 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot.

The touchdown speed of 139 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilots may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -249 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively smoothly.

One of the most notable issues with this landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 15.1 meters. This could have been due to a variety of factors, including a misjudged approach path or a failure to maintain the correct heading during the final approach.

The total landing distance of 2,029 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This suggests that the aircraft may have taken a longer than necessary distance to come to a stop after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 14.7 meters from centerline, which could have been due to a combination of factors including the initial touchdown position and the pilots' ability to control the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the Airbus A321 aircraft was able to land safely on runway 27C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, there were several notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. These deviations suggest that the pilots may have needed to work on their approach and landing techniques to improve the accuracy and efficiency of their landings.
