Departure Taxi

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, taking 17 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 17, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,630 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 200°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,811 feet above sea level to 33,656 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,845 feet, in just 13 minutes and covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 2 miles west of Worthington, Minnesota, and lasted for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 1,085 nautical miles.

The enroute descent phase began 8 miles northeast of Niland Airport in California, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,998 feet above sea level to 1,530 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,469 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.

Landing on runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 99.47 %
Landing Summary

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.
