Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 21 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 21 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 21 ft to touchdown.

See Arrival Landing

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 23R at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,843 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 219 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 127 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,141 feet above sea level to 34,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,865 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northeast of Fries, Virginia. This phase lasted for 117 minutes and covered a distance of 715 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles southwest of Fairchild, Wisconsin. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 33,581 feet above sea level to 7,556 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,026 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of River Falls, Wisconsin. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile southwest of 27WI Tegeler Airport Prescott, Wisconsin. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 7,016 feet above sea level to 2,320 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,696 feet.

The final approach to runway 30L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 302.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,477 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 30L, which had a length of 3,040 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 145 knots.

The touchdown point was 213 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -92 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,439 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.3 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 946 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 175 minutes. The aircraft used 7,684 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 30L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 91.18 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 30L at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, achieving a score of 91.2%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 302.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,477 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 145 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 213 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off the ideal position. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a bit faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking to slow down the aircraft. However, the touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were quite cold, with a temperature of -9°C, and a moderate wind of 8 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 5 knots, while the tailwind component was slightly stronger at 6 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off by 12.0 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance of 1,439 meters was 47% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a safe stop. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilots' efforts to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Airbus A321 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control, achieving a respectable score of 91.2%. The pilots' ability to navigate the aircraft through challenging weather conditions and maintain a smooth touchdown rate were notable highlights of the landing.
