The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Wellington International Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 34, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 139 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 36 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 35 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead the SB14 Wellington VOR. The climb took 12 minutes to cover a distance of 40 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,010 feet above sea level to 22,394 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,384 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 11 miles south of the NZBL Cape Campbell airstrip in Blenheim, New Zealand. This cruise phase lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 11 miles east of Cheviot, Canterbury, New Zealand. The descent took 14 minutes to cover a distance of 67 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 22,311 feet above sea level to 3,326 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,985 feet. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south-east of Rolleston, Canterbury, New Zealand. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began another descent, starting 2 miles north-west of Prebbleton, Canterbury, New Zealand. The descent took 2 minutes to cover a distance of 4 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 3,019 feet above sea level to 2,372 feet above sea level, a decrease of 648 feet. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south of Prebbleton, Canterbury, New Zealand. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 02 at Christchurch International Airport took place from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at 40.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 02, which had a length of 3,289 meters. The threshold height at 62 feet above ground level was above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 148 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 384 meters, but the touchdown speed at 147 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -500 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,269 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centreline.

The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 193 nautical miles, taking a total of 53 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,809 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 02 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 90.59 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Christchurch International Airport, achieving a score of 90.6%. The final approach to runway 02 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 40.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 384 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 147 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -500 feet per minute (fpm) was also very hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have been subjected to a significant amount of deceleration upon touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.5 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during touchdown.

The total landing distance of 1,269 meters was 39% 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 by 13.1 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a hard touchdown rate. Additionally, the slight misalignments during touchdown and rollout may indicate a need for the pilot to refine their alignment and control during these phases of flight.
