Departing from King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 33R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 159 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,094 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway, was achieved in a relatively short period.

As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered a local weather condition of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 10°. The enroute climb phase started overhead the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 3,000 feet above sea level to 35,001 feet, an increase of 32,001 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles. The flight then entered a series of level cruises, with the longest lasting 1 hour and 47 minutes, covering 315 nautical miles. The aircraft also underwent several short climbs, including one from 34,998 feet to 36,610 feet in 2 minutes, and another from 37,396 feet to 38,998 feet in 2 minutes. The descent phase started 13 miles west of Lan Sak, Thailand, where the aircraft descended from 38,999 feet to 1,043 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 19L at Suvarnabhumi Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 194.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,035 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the runway, with a touchdown point 630 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance of 2,509 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway, was achieved with a touchdown speed of 127 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -341 feet per minute. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.8 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 3,222 nautical miles was achieved in 233 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 8,128 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 19L at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 76.12 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 19L at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport from the north was initiated at 4 nm and 1,035 ft above ground level, heading 194.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 83 ft agl, significantly above the target. This resulted in a higher than ideal threshold speed of 145 kt, which could have been mitigated with a more precise approach path angle.

The aircraft touched down 630 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 kt, which was fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -341 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 32 °C and a headwind of 12 kt, contributed to the overall performance.

The total landing distance was 2,509 m, accounting for 62% of the runway length. During the rollout phase, the aircraft was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.8 m. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 76.1%. The approach and landing were executed within the acceptable parameters, with room for improvement in terms of approach path angle and touchdown speed.
