What went well

Touched down at -514 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 53 ft and 141 kt — both inside band
1.48 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, −1.04 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 2,605 ft at 63 %, Runway alignment max 34.2 ft right at 73 %, −0.63 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 19.1 ° at 55 %, −0.60 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 6.3°, 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

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 336 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 514 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 30 at Washington Dulles International Airport (KIAD). The takeoff distance was 5,205 feet, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from 339°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of South Riding, Virginia. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 110 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,344 feet above sea level to 36,326 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,981 feet.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 6 miles northeast of Junior, West Virginia. This cruise phase lasted for 27 minutes and covered a distance of 290 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of IN71 Plew Airport in Columbia City, Indiana. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,937 feet above sea level to 11,106 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,831 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Orland Park, Illinois. This cruise phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles west of LL10 Naper Aero Club Airport in Naperville, Illinois. The descent took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 11,011 feet above sea level to 1,970 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,041 feet.

The final approach to runway 10C at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) was made from the west, with a heading of 90.0° and at an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10C, which has a length of 10,764 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots.

The touchdown point was 1,246 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -385 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 160°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 4,371 feet, which is 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 550 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 89 minutes. The aircraft used 11,517 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 10C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 87.03 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 10C at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 1,246 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -385 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.

However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline, which could have been caused by the same deviation.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 160°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 4,371 feet, which is 41% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was considered good, but with some minor deviations that could be improved upon in future flights.
