Landing on runway 24 at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 97.78 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK) on runway 24, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 244.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.

The touchdown distance of 377 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -419 feet per minute (fpm). A faster touchdown speed can result in a harder touchdown, which may be uncomfortable for passengers and potentially damage the aircraft's landing gear.

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and winds of 8 knots at 140°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,375 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop.

Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
