Flight narrative

This flight started at the Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), where the aircraft, an Airbus A321, began taxiing from its parking position to the runway 27R. The taxiing process took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27R, using 7,125 feet of the runway's 60% to achieve liftoff. The liftoff speed was recorded at 161 knots.

As the aircraft took off into the local weather conditions, which consisted of a temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit and a light 4-knot headwind at a bearing of 180 degrees, it climbed from a height of 2,030 feet above sea level to an enroute climb altitude that began 1 mile southwest of College Park, Georgia. The climb from 2,030 feet to 30,856 feet, an increase of 28,826 feet, was achieved in 16 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 9 minutes, while flying at an altitude of 30,856 feet and covering 67 nautical miles, with the enroute level cruise starting 6 miles southeast of Washington, Georgia.

As the plane continued its journey, it started a descent from 30,923 feet above sea level over Springfield, South Carolina, which took 14 minutes and covered 76 nautical miles. The descent was from an enroute cruise altitude to a lower altitude, eventually leveling off 4 miles northeast of North Charleston, South Carolina, for another brief level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered the final descent phase, beginning approximately 2 minutes later, which involved a descent from an altitude of 3,454 feet above sea level to 1,712 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,742 feet, over the Mount Holly Airport Goose Creek in South Carolina.

The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 15 at Charleston International Airport (KCHS), flying from the northwest at a heading of 150 degrees and at an altitude of 1,643 feet above ground level, while maintaining a northeasterly direction for approximately 4 nautical miles. The aircraft landed successfully on runway 15 at KCHS, which had a length of 9,011 feet. The landing was deemed successful, with the touchdown speed at 130 knots being slightly fast, while the touchdown rate fell within a fair range at -300 feet per minute.

Upon landing, the plane experienced a slight distance overrun of 458 feet, extending beyond the designated touchdown zone. However, the aircraft managed to land within the available runway length, covering a total distance of 4,976 feet, which represented 55% of the runway's length. This allowed for a smooth rollout, maintaining perfect runway alignment. Once the plane came to a stop, it began taxiing to its parking position, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The entire journey had resulted in a total flight distance of 257 nautical miles, which required 59 minutes to complete, and consumed approximately 5,704 pounds of fuel.

Landing on runway 15 at KCHS Charleston International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 97.36 %
Landing Summary

A comprehensive report on the Airbus A321 aircraft landing at KCHS Charleston International Airport provides valuable insight into the success and performance of the operation. The aircraft achieved an impressive score of 97.4%, indicating a near-perfect execution of the landing.

The aircraft's approach to runway 15 was initiated from a northeasterly heading of 150.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,643 feet above ground level. The good threshold height suggests that the aircraft was well-positioned for landing, and the threshold speed of 137 knots was within the expected range. Unfortunately, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than desired.

The touchdown point was located 458 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing point. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control and precision during the critical phases of the landing.

Local weather conditions played a minor role in the landing, with a moderate temperature of 79°F and minimal wind speeds of 4 knots at 180°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind contributed 3 knots to the aircraft's velocity, further enhancing its descent capabilities.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft utilized 55% of the available runway, covering a total distance of 4,976 feet to come to a complete stop. This distance is relatively typical of an Airbus A321, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control and alignment throughout the deceleration phase.

In conclusion, the Airbus A321's landing at KCHS Charleston International Airport was a well-executed operation, with the aircraft achieving an impressive score and demonstrating the pilots' skill and precision. Although there were some minor deviations from the intended landing point and touchdown speed, the overall performance was exceptional, and the aircraft safely came to a stop on the runway.
