Landing on runway 16 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 99.73 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, with a score of 92.9%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level.

The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, with a threshold speed of 144 knots being achieved. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach, setting up for a smooth touchdown. The touchdown distance of 458 meters was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a headwind of 18 knots. This headwind component would have assisted the aircraft's descent and touchdown, making the landing even smoother. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot, which further reduced the risk of any deviations from the intended flight path.

The touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute was considered fair, indicating that the pilot could have potentially achieved a more controlled descent. However, this did not significantly impact the overall quality of the landing, and the aircraft was able to come to rest on the runway with a perfect rollout alignment.

The total landing distance of 1,025 meters was 56% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
