Stabilised approach
The approach, gate by gate
Where the wheels went down
Side view — the last 1,592 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,592 m of the 2,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 568 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
0.48 points lost
Biggest loss first. Every scored stage counts equally within its phase, and the phases equally in the flight score — so each amount is exact, not an estimate.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDW Bremen Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 09, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 974 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 1°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 109 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from Bremen Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to a height of 35,987 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 130 nautical miles and took 20 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 34,943 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began 2 miles northwest of Kampen in the Netherlands and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 211 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Ingatestone in England and took the aircraft down to a height of 10,086 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 56 nautical miles and took 9 minutes to complete, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 25,941 feet. The enroute descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise, which began 1 mile east of Hackleton in Northamptonshire and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent, which started 1 mile north of Harpole in Northamptonshire and took the aircraft down to a height of 2,997 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 40 nautical miles and took 9 minutes to complete, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 7,075 feet. The enroute descent phase was followed by another brief level cruise, which began overhead Whittington in Staffordshire and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Streetly in Walsall and took the aircraft down to a height of 1,668 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 5 nautical miles and took 2 minutes to complete, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 1,326 feet.
The final approach to runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport was made from the north west, with the aircraft heading at 146.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,337 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 15 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 144 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -44 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,503 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 464 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 83 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 3,942 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EGBB Birmingham International Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 146.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,337 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 15, which has a length of 2,317 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was prepared for landing. However, the touchdown point was 144 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -44 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a stop in a controlled and safe manner.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's path during the final approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have assisted the pilot in maintaining control of the aircraft during the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment in bringing the aircraft to a safe stop.
