See Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing on runway 21L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 97.22 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 21L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 208.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on the runway with a good threshold height.

The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots, which is a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 1,211 feet, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 149 knots, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate of -385 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the landing.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 45°F and a light wind of 3 knots at 160°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which made the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful. The total landing distance was 5,166 feet, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot executing a smooth and controlled rollout. The score of 97.2% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
