The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,534 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,534 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 688 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A321 began with a 5-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. The departure roll on runway 30L covered 1,397 meters, which was 46% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, with a local temperature of 5°C and a 12-knot wind coming from 310°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 12-knot headwind.
The enroute climb started over KMSP, climbing from 1,847 feet above sea level to 34,648 feet, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles in 12 minutes. The level cruise began two miles southeast of WS51 Leeward Farm Airport in Soldiers Grove, lasting 30 minutes and covering 491 nautical miles.
The descent phase commenced three miles north of Christiana, Tennessee, descending from 34,529 feet to 2,618 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 164 nautical miles. The landing took place on runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with a runway length of 2,738 meters. The aircraft was 48 feet above ground level at the threshold, landing at a speed of 154 knots. The touchdown occurred 692 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -328 feet per minute. The local weather at the time was 12°C, with a 24-knot wind coming from 300°, resulting in a 12-knot crosswind and a 21-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,456 meters, which was 53% of the total runway length.
Finally, the taxi back to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance for the Airbus A321 was 808 nautical miles, taking 71 minutes and using 5,291 kilograms of fuel.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 92.9% is very impressive and shows a high level of proficiency in various aspects of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, it is commendable that you maintained excellent glideslope alignment, indicating precise control of the aircraft's descent. While your speed was slightly above target, this is a minor issue that can easily be corrected with practice.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you managed to achieve a good threshold height, which is crucial for a smooth touchdown. However, the landing flare was noted to be very poor. This is an area that may require some focus in future landings to ensure a smoother touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was reported to be hard, suggesting a need for improvement in controlling the aircraft's descent rate. On a positive note, your speed was on target, indicating good management of airspeed during the landing process. The fact that the touchdown point was 274 meters beyond the touchdown zone is an area that could be improved upon for better precision in future landings.
Despite these minor areas for improvement, it is worth noting that your runway touchdown position was very good, indicating a strong understanding of the landing procedure. Additionally, landing with a 12 knots crosswind is no small feat, so congratulations on navigating this challenge successfully.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, it is noted that the runway alignment was slightly off, with a distance of 5.9 meters from the centerline. This is another area for improvement, as precision in runway alignment is key for safe and effective landing.
In conclusion, your overall aircraft landing score of 92.9% demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency in various aspects of the landing process. By focusing on areas such as landing flare, descent rate, and runway alignment, you can further improve your landing technique and aim for even higher scores in future landings. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for excellence in your flying skills.
