Landing on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 95.61 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 31 with a score of 95.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 302.0° at an altitude of 195 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles (nm) from the runway. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 141 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown point was 140 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the descent.

The touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, which is slightly higher than the ideal rate. A higher touchdown rate can increase the risk of a hard landing or damage to the aircraft. Nevertheless, the pilot managed to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 320°, contributed to the slight deviation. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,183 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
