What went well

Touched down at -388 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 2.00 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.30 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 75 ft agl was well above target at 56 %, −1.52 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 20.0 ° at 53 %, −0.63 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 9.35 m right at 77 %, −0.43 points

Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 15°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.

What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 7.4 ft, and this flight then touched down at 305 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 24L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,341 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and ascending from 1,038 feet above sea level to 30,444 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,406 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 53 miles east of Cadaques, Spain, and lasted for 45 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 349 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 30,294 feet above sea level to 31,272 feet above sea level, an increase of 978 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This climb phase started 1 mile southeast of Meisterschwanden, Switzerland.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Boppelsen, Switzerland, and lasted for 18 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 128 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Morlenbach, Germany, and descending from 31,393 feet above sea level to 1,598 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,795 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 31R at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 318.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,334 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31R, which had a length of 3,807 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being well above the target and the threshold speed being good at 132 knots. However, the touchdown point was 190 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots.

The touchdown rate was firm at -388 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 2,585 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 708 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 117 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,396 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 31R at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 85.68 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 31R at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.7%. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 318.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,334 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with the threshold height being well above the target, indicating a safe margin for the aircraft to touch down. The threshold speed was also good, at 132 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate.

The touchdown rate of -388 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively so, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without any significant issues. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and winds of 12 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which is relatively mild and should not have significantly impacted the aircraft's performance.

The total landing distance of 2,585 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was 190 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future landings.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment. With some adjustments to the aircraft's performance and alignment, the pilot can aim to achieve a higher score and a more precise landing.
