The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EGGD Bristol Airport, achieving a score of 95.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,205 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 09, which has a length of 1,881 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track for a smooth landing. However, the touchdown point was 204 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection or a slight delay in the pilot's decision to touch down.
The touchdown speed of 142 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate of -357 feet per minute (fpm). A firmer touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate that the aircraft is touching down with too much force, which can put additional stress on the landing gear and potentially lead to damage.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a slight crosswind component. However, the local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 99°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was 14 knots, which would have helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance was 1,449 meters, which is 77% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to touch down smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to align the aircraft with the centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills. However, there were a few areas for improvement, including the touchdown speed and the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
