Landing on runway 26 at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 89.43 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX) on runway 26, achieving a score of 89.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 145 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,402 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a smooth and stable landing.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 76°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 259°. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.

The total landing distance of 6,813 feet was 65% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and successfully aligned with the runway centerline.

Overall, the landing was successful, with some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown zone and runway alignment. However, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing, despite the slight misalignment and longer-than-ideal landing distance.
