Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 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 2,066 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 149°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southwest of NZCH. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 47 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,155 feet above sea level to 21,196 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,041 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 5 miles southwest of Cheviot, lasting 7 minutes and covering 51 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 16 miles northeast of Kaikoura, where the aircraft descended from 21,273 feet above sea level to 1,807 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,467 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 16 at Wellington International Airport (NZWN) was made from the north, heading 183.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,759 feet above ground level.

However, a go-around was initiated at 1,725 feet above ground level, and the aircraft then landed on runway 16 at NZWN. The runway length was 1,815 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 152 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 228 meters. The touchdown speed was 149 knots, which was fast, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -566 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 16 knots at 230°, with a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 974 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 176 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes, during which 2,766 kilograms of fuel were used.

Landing on runway 16 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 94.67 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,759 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 228 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 149 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate was also very hard, at -566 feet per minute, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 4.7 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 11 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 230°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 11 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown.

Despite the slight misalignment, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 974 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 94.7%. However, there were some areas for improvement, including the slightly fast touchdown speed and the hard touchdown rate.
