Landing on runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport in the Airbus A321
Landing Score 96.57 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 146.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 422 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, with an offset of 8.4 meters. This could be attributed to the crosswind component of 6 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 180°, also played a role in the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,234 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, with an offset of 8.0 meters. This could be a concern for future landings, as it may indicate a need for adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the landing.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 96.6%. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and alignment during the landing and rollout phases.
