Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

During the departure roll on runway 23R, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 2,120 m, representing 70 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 172 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 37 °C, wind 12 kt from 230°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind.

Climb commenced 1 mile south-west of KRDU, with the airplane ascending from 1,366 ft asl to 31,569 ft asl, an increase of 30,203 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 154 nm.

Level cruise began 3 miles east of Mayo, South Carolina, and persisted for 234 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 1,694 nm.

Descent was initiated 1 mile west of KTNP Twentynine Palms Airport, descending from 32,045 ft asl to 1,415 ft asl, a loss of 30,630 ft in 22 minutes and a distance of 118 nm.

The final approach to runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport was conducted from the east, on a heading of 263.0°, at 4 nm and 1,275 ft agl.

A go-around was executed on runway 24R at KLAX at 0 ft agl, after which the aircraft re-entered the approach sequence.

Landing on runway 24R at KLAX was performed on a runway 2,713 m long, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 142 kt. Touchdown occurred 332 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 244 fpm and a very good runway alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 21 °C, wind 9 kt from 249°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 9 kt head-wind. The total landing distance was 1,745 m, representing 64 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 12 minutes, covering an additional 2 nm.

In total, the flight covered 2,044 nm, required 323 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 15,104 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321neo completed the final approach to runway 24R at KLAX from the east, flying a heading of 263.0° at 4 nm and 1,275 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

Threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 142 kt.

Touchdown occurred 332 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 131 kt, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at minus 244 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.

Total landing distance was 1,745 m, representing 64 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

Maintain the aim point nearer the beginning of the touchdown zone and refine flare technique to achieve a slightly lower vertical speed at touchdown, which will further optimise the landing distance and rate.
