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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,691 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,194 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 10 at TFFF Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,314 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 92°F, a wind speed of 7 knots at 120°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,066 feet above sea level to 35,061 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,995 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 5 miles west of Anse-Bertrand, Guadeloupe, and lasted for 111 minutes, covering a distance of 839 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began at a latitude of 30.2261648 and a longitude of -64.4240365, where the aircraft descended from 35,161 feet above sea level to 1,269 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,893 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30 at TXKF L.F. Wade International Airport was made from the east, heading 281.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,243 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,202 feet, which was 48% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was -192 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 82°F, a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,093 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 167 minutes. The aircraft used 13,667 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at TXKF L.F. Wade International Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 281.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon final approach, the pilots demonstrated precise control, ensuring a smooth and stable descent. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was well within the acceptable range, and the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed landing. The threshold speed of 135 knots was also satisfactory, further emphasizing the pilots' expertise.
The landing distance of 4,646 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was within the acceptable parameters. This indicates that the pilots had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and touchdown, allowing for a safe and efficient landing. The touchdown rate of -192 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range, signifying a controlled and stable touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilots.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
