See Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing on runway 11 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 98.46 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 106.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,204 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 11, which has a length of 9,778 feet.

The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown rate was still considered fair.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 129°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.

The total landing distance of 4,927 feet was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the runway.
