What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 70 %, −0.36 points

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown VSI was -475 fpm. at 87 %, −0.18 points

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 to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 20 at Christchurch International Airport (NZCH). The takeoff distance was 1,778 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 279 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south-west of NZCH, where the aircraft ascended from 1,163 feet above sea level to 5,618 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,456 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile south of Rolleston and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 10 miles south-east of Christchurch, where the aircraft descended from 5,830 feet above sea level to 1,972 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,858 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 14 miles east of Woodend and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 29 at NZCH was made from the south-east, with a heading of 307.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 665 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 306 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The threshold speed was good at 141 knots, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -475 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions during the landing were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 259 degrees, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,020 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

In total, the flight distance was 67 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 34 minutes. The aircraft used 1,338 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 29 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 96.79 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Christchurch International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the south east, aligning with a heading of 307.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 665 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -475 feet per minute. This could potentially put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 2 knots from a direction of 259°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also negligible at 1 knot. The total landing distance of 1,020 meters was 60% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment. However, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
