Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 34 at Wellington International Airport (NZWN). The takeoff distance was 1,041 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 10°.

The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 8 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the SB14 Wellington VOR (Wellington, New Zealand). The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,017 feet above sea level to 22,161 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,144 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 13 miles south of the NZBL Cape Campbell airstrip (Blenheim, Marlborough, New Zealand). This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles.

Landing on runway 20 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 93.17 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Christchurch International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach to runway 20 was initiated from the north east, heading 220.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 149 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 251 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 147 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -655 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.3 meters, which may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a headwind of 6 knots at 220°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,055 meters was 32% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and a smooth rollout. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and alignment, which may be addressed in future training exercises.
