Landing on runway 13L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 94.29 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 13L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a slight deviation in threshold height, being above the target at 60 feet agl.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots, resulting in a touchdown speed of 137 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 449 meters, and the touchdown rate was firm at -344 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the aircraft's ability to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.

The total landing distance was 1,440 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were effectively applied to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
