The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Punta Cana International Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 09, with the aircraft taking off after covering 64% of the runway's length, which was 1,995 meters. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 9 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of the airport and rising from an altitude of 1,023 feet above sea level to 34,137 feet, an increase of 33,114 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 156 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 46 miles north of Cabarete, Dominican Republic, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 34,163 feet to 35,684 feet, an increase of 1,522 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 31 nautical miles, while flying over the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 37 miles east of Mayaguana, Bahamas, and lasted for 46 minutes, covering a distance of 794 nautical miles. As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, starting 4 miles south-east of Scotland, Georgia, and descending from 36,243 feet to 2,193 feet, a decrease of 34,050 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 127 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 27L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270 degrees at an altitude of 1,161 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on the runway, which was 2,738 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 137 knots, and the touchdown distance was 412 meters.

The touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -257 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,423 meters, which was 52% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,248 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 100 minutes, with the aircraft using 9,176 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 27L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 97.21 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 27L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) with a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,161 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, as indicated by the satisfactory threshold height and speed of 137 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 412 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate of -257 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.

One notable aspect of the landing was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 7.4 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall performance of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, as they did not pose a significant challenge to the aircraft's control or stability.

The total landing distance of 1,423 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to decelerate quickly and efficiently after touchdown, and that the pilot was able to maintain good control throughout the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and control.
