What went well

Touchdown 189 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 25 ft and 149 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.29 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 71 %, −0.30 points
Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 136 kn at 90 %, −0.15 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown VSI was -465 fpm. at 87 %, −0.13 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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 34 at Wellington International Airport (NZWN). The takeoff distance was 913 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft successfully took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead SB14 Wellington. The climb from 1,032 feet above sea level to 8,075 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,043 feet, was achieved in 4 minutes and covered 15 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 16 minutes and covered 34 nautical miles. This phase began 4 miles northwest of Upper Hutt. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 21 miles south of Martinborough Airport. The descent from 7,979 feet above sea level to 3,488 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,491 feet, was achieved in 4 minutes and covered 17 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 6 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles. This phase began 13 miles southeast of Wellington International Airport. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 9 miles south of the airport. The descent from 2,915 feet above sea level to 1,322 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,593 feet, was achieved in 2 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 34 at Wellington International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 3.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 189 meters and a touchdown speed of 147 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was hard at -465 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 922 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 86 nautical miles, which was achieved in 44 minutes. The aircraft used 2,029 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 97.42 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Wellington International Airport, achieving a score of 97.4%. The final approach to runway 34 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 147 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 150 knots. The touchdown distance of 189 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -465 feet per minute was deemed hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 922 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly controlled during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.4%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
