Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 17 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

Departing from Birmingham International Airport (EGBB), the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 14 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 15, utilizing 1,243 meters, or 54% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 158 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 220°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Hampton in Arden, Solihull, England, and continued to ascend to 34,521 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,125 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 146 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 9 miles east of Dover, Kent, England, and lasted for 254 minutes, covering a distance of 2,368 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 50 miles south of Yanbu, Medina Region, Saudi Arabia, and descended from 35,000 feet to 2,020 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,980 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase near King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah, the aircraft commenced its final approach to runway 16L, aligning with the runway heading of 160.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level.

The Airbus A321 landed on runway 16L at King Abdulaziz International Airport, utilizing 2,357 meters, or 59% of the runway, to come to a stop. The touchdown point was 93 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and a touchdown rate of -287 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 16 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 2,647 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 218 minutes and a fuel consumption of 7,494 kilograms.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 16L at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 139 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown point, 93 m beyond the touchdown zone, was slightly beyond the ideal location, but still within a reasonable margin.

The touchdown speed of 132 kt was good, indicating a controlled descent and a smooth touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -287 fpm was fair, suggesting a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway, a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a wind of 13 kt at 330 °, presented a moderate crosswind component of 2 kt and a tailwind of 13 kt, which the pilot effectively managed.

The total landing distance of 2,357 m, accounting for 59% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal path. Overall, the landing was scored 95.6%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
