The Airbus A321 successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) on runway 27, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 286.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,500 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was 142 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which further contributed to a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,423 meters was 68% 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 pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and flare technique to achieve an even smoother touchdown.
