This flight was a unique experience that involved a significant number of takeoffs, landings, and cruising phases. The aircraft of choice was the A321N, a modern and efficient narrow-body jet.

As the plane departed KDEN Denver International Airport, it rolled out on runway 25, which is approximately 11,527 feet long. The takeoff was smooth, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 173 knots. The takeoff distance was 8,040 feet, which covered 67% of the available runway length.

After departing KDEN, the aircraft began its climb from an initial altitude of 6,214 feet above sea level. This ascent phase, which lasted just over 21 minutes, took the aircraft up to a height of 36,019 feet, an increase of 29,805 feet in total. Throughout this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 126 nautical miles.

The next segment of the flight involved a level cruise, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 36,000 feet for 71 minutes, spanning a distance of 511 nautical miles. This phase was punctuated by periods of descent and climb, as the aircraft navigated through the skies.

The aircraft then began its descent at different points, including north of New Castle, Nevada, Yosemite Valley, El Portal, and Sunol. Each descent was followed by a short level cruise, where the aircraft stabilized at a lower altitude. The descent from 27,025 feet to 5,611 feet, for example, took 16 minutes and covered an 80-nautical-mile distance.

As the aircraft approached its final destination, KSFO San Francisco International Airport, it began its descent from an altitude of 5,981 feet to 1,819 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final approach was made from the southeast, heading 298.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles from the landing threshold.

The landing itself was smooth and uneventful, with the aircraft touching down on runway 28R at a speed of 126 knots, 166 feet beyond the threshold. The touchdown rate was a perfect -33 feet per minute. The aircraft used a total of 3,802 feet to cover the distance between the touchdown point and the end of the runway.

After the aircraft landed, it taxied to the parking for just 5 minutes, covering less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was an impressive 839 nautical miles, which was completed in a total flight time of 154 minutes. Notably, the aircraft consumed 12,168 pounds of fuel throughout the flight.

In terms of performance, the takeoff and landing distances covered 67% and 33% of the available runway length, respectively. The touchdown speed and threshold speed were both good, indicating that the aircraft performed well during the critical phases of flight.

Landing on runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport in the A21N

Landing Score 99.78 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, an A21N, successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R. This aircraft demonstrated exceptional pilot proficiency as evidenced by its impressive performance during the final approach and touchdown phase.

Upon approaching the runway from the southeast at a heading of 298.0°, the aircraft maintained a safe distance of approximately 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft descended, its altitude decreased to 1,262 feet above ground level (agl), at which point it began its final descent towards the runway. The pilot successfully executed a smooth transition from approach to touchdown.

Upon touching down on the runway at a speed of 134 knots, the aircraft achieved an accurate threshold height. The threshold speed is a critical component of a safe and effective landing, as it provides a benchmark for the pilot to gauge their aircraft's descent and velocity. In this case, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed, achieving a touchdown speed of 126 knots exactly where it should be.

One notable aspect of the landing was the aircraft's touchdown point, which occurred 166 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone. While this may seem like an imperfect landing, the touchdown rate of -33 feet per minute was spot on, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was also impeccable, suggesting excellent pilot control and coordination during the landing sequence.

The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 65°F prevailing at the time. This moderate weather made it an ideal environment for a safe and efficient landing.

In terms of the overall landing distance, the aircraft required 3,802 feet to come to a complete stop, which equated to approximately 33% of the total runway length. This is a respectable figure, especially considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also flawless, indicating that the pilot expertly managed the aircraft's deceleration and controlled its rotation as it exited the runway.
