The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 12L at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP), with a takeoff distance of 1,237 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 18 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 18 knots. After departing from KMSP, the enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,784 feet above sea level to 34,554 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,770 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began 1 mile northeast of Sparta, Wisconsin, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 220 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 1 mile south of Harry's Field in Hudsonville, Michigan, climbing from 35,431 feet above sea level to 37,032 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,601 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise continued overhead Caledonia, Michigan, lasting for 21 minutes and covering a distance of 418 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its descent 1 mile north of Catawissa, Pennsylvania, descending from 36,313 feet above sea level to 255 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,058 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.

Landing on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 98.8 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 31 with a score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 302.0° at 1 nautical mile and 224 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly longer stopping distance. The touchdown rate of -194 feet per minute was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The aircraft landed on the runway with a touchdown distance of 424 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation may have been due to the crosswind or other factors affecting the aircraft's alignment during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the aircraft during landing.

The total landing distance of 1,121 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. While there were some minor deviations from ideal performance, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities ensured a safe and controlled landing.
