Landing on runway 24 at KBDL Bradley International Airport in the Airbus A321neo

Landing Score 96.24 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321neo conducted the final approach to runway 24 at KBDL Bradley International Airport from the north-east on a heading of 230.0° at 3 nm and 932 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.

During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed slightly above target, recorded at 150 kt, and the threshold height was reported as good.

Touchdown occurred 786 ft down the runway at a speed of 145 kt, which was judged good, but the vertical rate was hard at minus 475 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, being 15 ft off the centreline.

Rollout used a total of 3,416 ft, representing 36 % of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.

The hard touchdown rate suggests a need to refine flare timing to achieve a smoother sink rate, and the slightly high threshold speed indicates that a marginal reduction in approach speed would bring the aircraft closer to the target without compromising safety.
