Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 404 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 840 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320neo taxied to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a takeoff run of 2,093 m, representing 57 % of the runway, at a liftoff speed of 159 kt. Local weather conditions were a temperature of 14 °C with wind from 220° at 7 kt, including a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.

En-route climb began 1 mile south-west of NZAA, with the airplane climbing from 1,025 ft asl to 1,561 ft asl, an increase of 535 ft in 1 minutes while covering 3 nm.

Level cruise was established 3 miles south of NZAA and persisted for 4 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 12 nm.

During the final descent the aircraft reduced altitude from 1,452 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 104 seconds.

The final approach to runway 23L at NZAA was executed and the crew scored on the stabilisation gates. Weather remained unchanged with a temperature of 14 °C, wind 7 kt from 220°, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 6 kt head-wind.

Landing was made on runway 23L, whose length is 3,671 m. The threshold speed was good at 136 kt, and touchdown occurred 62 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 126 kt. The touchdown rate was hard at minus 440 fpm and the touchdown point was misaligned by 11.7 m from the centreline. Total landing distance measured 999 m, equivalent to 27 % of the runway.

Runway rollout showed a slight alignment deviation of 10.9 m from the centreline.

In total the flight covered 21 nm, took 7 minutes, and consumed 282 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 84.5 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320neo approached runway 23L at Auckland International Airport in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. Descent progressed from 1,452 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 104 seconds while temperature was 14 C, wind 7 kt from 220 deg, with a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind.

During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 kt. Touchdown was achieved 62 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 kt that was judged good, but the flare resulted in a hard touchdown rate of minus 440 fpm.

At touchdown the aircraft’s point of contact remained 62 m beyond the touchdown zone and speed stayed at 126 kt, while the hard touchdown rate of minus 440 fpm persisted. The touchdown position was misaligned by 11.7 m from the runway centreline.

Rollout covered a total landing distance of 999 m, representing 27 % of the 3,671 m runway, and the aircraft’s path was slightly misaligned by 10.9 m from the centreline during the rollout.

The 89.4 % score reflects solid overall performance; refining flare timing to soften the touchdown and concentrating on centreline alignment during touchdown and rollout will further improve precision.
