Landing on runway 16 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 96.12 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. 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 1,283 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed on runway 16, which has a length of 1,815 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 144 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 230 meters was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

However, there was a slight deviation in the touchdown speed, which was recorded at 141 knots, slightly above the ideal speed. This resulted in a very hard touchdown rate of -587 feet per minute, which may have caused some discomfort for the passengers. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.

The total landing distance was 948 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured and the pilot executed a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was properly configured and aligned with the runway. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed may require some attention from the pilot to improve the landing quality.
