The departure roll took place on runway 21R, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 154 knots after covering 4,324 feet of the runway, which accounted for 51% of its length.

As the aircraft climbed out of Detroit, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 140°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,608 feet above sea level to 35,496 feet, an increase of 33,888 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began 3 miles northwest of Christiansburg, Ohio, and lasted for 101 minutes, covering a distance of 804 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 2 miles northwest of Sunnybreeze Airport in Arcadia, Florida, and descended from 36,028 feet to 12,326 feet in 7 minutes, covering 54 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile north of Harper's Fly-In Ranch Airport in Clewiston, Florida, and lasted for 102 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent again, this time from 11,765 feet to 10,095 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started once more 2 miles northwest of Airglades Airport in Clewiston, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles.

The final descent began 3 miles west of Palm Beach County Glades Airport in Pahokee, Florida, and the aircraft descended from 10,068 feet to 1,290 feet in 9 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10L at Palm Beach International Airport, heading 93.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level.

The landing took place on runway 10L, which was 7,975 feet long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 137 knots. The touchdown point was 469 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute, which was considered fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 4,049 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,050 nautical miles, taking 156 minutes and using 14,530 pounds of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway 10L at KPBI Palm Beach International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 96.52 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Palm Beach International Airport (KPBI) on runway 10L, achieving a score of 96.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 93.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed at a speed of 137 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown point was located 469 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position but still within a reasonable margin. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also good, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the landing phase.

However, the touchdown rate of -244 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final approach. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's configuration, the pilot's technique, or the wind conditions.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or the pilot's judgment during the landing phase. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.

The total landing distance of 4,049 feet was 51% of the available runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was properly controlled throughout the landing phase. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
