Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from its parking position to the runway at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA), which took 8 minutes to cover approximately 2 nautical miles. Departure was then initiated from Runway 04, and the takeoff was successful with a takeoff distance of 1,287 meters, accounting for 60% of the runway. At liftoff, the aircraft was at a speed of 154 knots.

Weather conditions during takeoff included a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and winds of 11 knots at 239 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots. Once airborne, the aircraft proceeded to climb from a starting altitude of 1,006 feet above sea level to 36,445 feet above sea level, a distance of 35,439 feet, in 14 minutes, covering 133 nautical miles.

After completing the climb, the aircraft entered into level cruise for 28 minutes, covering 651 nautical miles, with the last part of this segment occurring 5 miles west of Towanda, Pennsylvania. The aircraft remained in this level cruise phase until it reached 97WI North Fork Airport Thorp, Wisconsin, at an altitude of 36,079 feet above sea level. During this time, the aircraft then commenced its descent from the high altitude to a lower altitude, covering 107 nautical miles in 13 minutes.

As the aircraft continued on its journey, it began another level cruise segment after descending from 36,079 feet above sea level to 4,358 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,721 feet in just 13 minutes, with the descent phase covering 107 nautical miles. This was completed when it reached 3,998 feet above sea level. Then the plane started level cruise once again for 2 minutes from an altitude of 3,998 feet to 2,128 feet in 6 nautical miles when descending to Medicine Lake, Minnesota. The aircraft then descended to 2,128 feet in 2 minutes.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it commenced a final descent phase, starting from an altitude of 4,358 feet above sea level to 2,128 feet, reducing speed while preparing for the landing. With the weather conditions at the destination of Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) being a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and winds of 10 knots at 190 degrees, which resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 4 knots, it began its final approach from the north-west and landed on Runway 12L. The aircraft touched down smoothly with a touch down distance of 387 meters and touchdown speed of 137 knots.

The touchdown rate was a firm -376 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also very good. The aircraft then rolled out along the runway, with the runway rollout alignment being perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied from the runway to the parking area, which took 6 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 910 nautical miles, which was achieved in a total flight time of 74 minutes, using 6,354 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 landed safely at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, showcasing excellent piloting skills. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 12L at an altitude of 1,269 ft above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles northwest of the airport, heading 121.0°. This was a precise start, positioning the plane for a smooth landing.

As the A321 approached the runway, it maintained a good threshold height, ensuring a controlled descent. The threshold speed of 140 kt was also met, which indicated that the pilots were well-prepared for the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 137 kt was slightly fast, although this did not impact the overall success of the landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a firm touchdown rate of -376 ft/min, suggesting a controlled and steady descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also highly praised, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills.

Taking into account the local weather conditions at the time of landing, the pilots had to contend with a 10-kt wind blowing from 190°, resulting in a 9-kt crosswind and a 4-kt headwind. Despite this, the pilots successfully managed the crosswind, ensuring a smooth and stable landing.

After touchdown, the aircraft showcased exceptional rollout alignment, completing the landing perfectly. The total landing distance of 1,428 m (59% of the runway length) was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain stability throughout the process.

Overall, the A321's landing at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was scored 98.3%, highlighting the exceptional piloting skills and the smooth execution of the landing procedure.
