Maintain the centreline

Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 34C at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport, located in the Mecca Region of Saudi Arabia. The takeoff distance was 1,177 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 6 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 183 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,048 feet above sea level to 38,086 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,037 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 21 miles south east of OEPJ Pump Station 10 Airport. This phase lasted for 131 minutes and covered a distance of 683 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 40 miles west of OIBS Siri Airport in Iran. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 104 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,133 feet above sea level to 2,282 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,851 feet.

After the enroute descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead OMSH Sharjah Airport in the United Arab Emirates. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport, which was located to the south east. The aircraft was heading at 301.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,315 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30L was successful, with a total landing distance of 1,407 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -379 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 170 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 1 knot.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 987 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 154 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,379 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport in the Airbus A321
Landing Score 96.31 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 30L at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) with a score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,315 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 129 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. The touchdown rate of -379 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.

The touchdown point was located 123 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 170°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which reduced the risk of any significant deviations during the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,407 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment during the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
