Landing on runway 32R at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 92.24 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 32R at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport, achieving a score of 92.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 319.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on the designated runway.

The threshold height at 63 feet agl was above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing height. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 136 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable approach speed. The touchdown point was 157 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -374 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The runway length of 3,807 meters provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely.

The total landing distance of 1,720 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the runway.
