The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,205 feet above sea level to 5,654 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,449 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started overhead East Grinstead in West Sussex, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 5,762 feet above sea level to 28,561 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,799 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The climb took the aircraft over Newick in East Sussex, England.

After the second climb, the aircraft entered a long enroute level cruise, starting 9 miles northwest of Etretat in Normandie, France. This cruise lasted for 39 minutes, covering a distance of 258 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Charmeil in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 28,740 feet above sea level to 2,151 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,589 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 35R at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LFLL) was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 355.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,344 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35R, which had a length of 2,708 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 158 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 136 knots.

However, the touchdown rate was hard at -497 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -1°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 20 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,244 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 425 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 86 minutes. The aircraft used 4,028 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 35R at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 95.41 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, achieving a score of 95.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,344 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 35R, which has a length of 2,708 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 136 knots, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 158 meters. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was consistent with the threshold speed, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in executing a smooth landing. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -497 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal landing profile.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.4 meters, which may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.

The total landing distance was 1,244 meters, accounting for 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a safe and stable taxiing process.

Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and skill, with the pilot successfully navigating the aircraft through the final approach and landing phases. The slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position and the hard touchdown rate were the only notable deviations from the ideal landing profile, but these did not compromise the safety of the landing.
