Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.7 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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 taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 17 at Mandalay International Airport, Mandalay, Myanmar, at a VYMD speed. The takeoff distance was 2,666 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and there was a 1-knot tailwind. After departing from Mandalay, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and reaching an altitude of 34,939 feet above sea level. The climb covered a distance of 166 nautical miles and took 24 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 33,640 feet.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles west of Taungoo, Myanmar, and lasted for 71 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 543 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 38 miles east of Chumphon Airport, Thailand, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,866 feet to 1,149 feet above sea level.

The final approach to runway 17 at Samui Airport, Thailand, was made from the north, with a heading of 170.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,091 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 17 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 58 meters and a touchdown speed of 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -593 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.0 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during landing were a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 30 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and there was a 3-knot tailwind. The total landing distance was 1,211 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway.

The total flight distance was 773 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 125 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,756 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 17 at VTSM Samui Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 87.9 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at VTSM Samui Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.9%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, heading 170.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,091 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 140 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown distance of 58 meters was deemed good, suggesting that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

Despite the good touchdown speed and distance, the touchdown rate was very hard, registering at -593 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft's descent was steeper than desired, which may have put additional stress on the landing gear and other aircraft components. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.0 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were relatively favorable for landing, with minimal wind shear or turbulence.

The total landing distance of 1,211 meters was 76% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.3 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more corrective action during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the hard touchdown rate and the misaligned runway touchdown and rollout positions. These issues can be addressed through additional training and practice for the pilot, as well as adjustments to the aircraft's configuration and handling characteristics.
