Landing on runway 09 at RCKH Kaohsiung International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 83.88 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at RCKH Kaohsiung International Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 2,542 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 141 knots, indicating a good approach configuration. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -438 feet per minute. This could potentially put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may require further attention from the pilots to achieve a smoother touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a moderate headwind of 7 knots. The crosswind component was relatively light at 6 knots, which should not have significantly impacted the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,567 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for 62% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 33.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a loss of directional control during the rollout phase. This may require further attention from the pilots to maintain a stable and aligned rollout.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment. With some adjustments to their approach and landing techniques, the pilots can aim to achieve a smoother and more controlled landing.
