What held you back

Arrival Taxi — landing lights; peak speed in a turn 25 kt at 0 %, Taxi Lights at 70 %, −1.87 points
Departure Roll — Strobe Lights at 0 %, Runway alignment max 17.05 m at 70 %, −0.74 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 49 %, −0.56 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of Z08G Lefka Lefka. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles east of Lalapasa in Turkey. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 136 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 34,955 feet above sea level to 3,524 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,431 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles west of Cat in Turkey. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24L at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 244.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,490 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 24L was successful, with a touchdown point 60 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was hard at -483 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,182 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centreline.

Landing on runway 24L at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 92.03 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach to runway 24L was initiated from the north east, heading 244.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,490 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 129 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 136 kt. However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a descent rate of -483 fpm. This may indicate that the pilots could have applied a smoother touchdown, but it did not compromise the overall safety of the landing.

The touchdown point was located 60 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered a minor deviation. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, which could be attributed to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment during the landing roll. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 5 kt, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,182 meters was 33% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention from the pilots to maintain a more precise alignment during future landings.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 92.0%. While there were some minor deviations in the touchdown point and runway alignment, the pilots demonstrated good control and adherence to standard procedures, ensuring a safe and efficient landing.
