The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 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 1,668 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 179 degrees.

The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was also 4 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,133 feet above sea level to 7,881 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,748 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 5 miles southwest of Lincoln, Canterbury, New Zealand. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles northeast of Tai Tapu, Canterbury, New Zealand. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 7,677 feet above sea level to 2,187 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,490 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 8 miles southeast of Amberley, Canterbury, New Zealand. The final approach to runway 20 at Christchurch International Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 220.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 20 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 393 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate of -298 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.9 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 179 degrees.

The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,065 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.5 meters. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 74 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 30 minutes. The aircraft used 1,281 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 20 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport in the Airbus A321
Landing Score 96 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Christchurch International Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. 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 1,257 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 142 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 393 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -298 feet per minute was fair, suggesting a relatively gentle impact.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.9 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from 179°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,065 meters was 32% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.5 meters, which may have been due to factors such as pilot error or aircraft performance.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.0%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
