Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 84 %, −0.16 points

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 5.1 m off the runway centreline.

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

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Keep easing the back pressure to let the aircraft settle from 24 ft instead of holding it level.

What happened: The sink was arrested at 24 ft and held there instead of being let down.

Watch for: Radio altimeter: continuous descent through the normal flare band to touchdown

See Arrival Landing

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing report
Landing on runway 30 at EKVG Vágar Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 96.33 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EKVG Vágar Airport, achieving a high score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 298.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,463 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 142 knots, registering at 145 kt. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach, but still managed to maintain control of the aircraft. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 226 meters, which is within the acceptable range for a runway of 1,795 meters in length.

However, the touchdown speed of 138 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a firm touchdown rate of -368 feet per minute (fpm). A firm touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate that the aircraft is touching down with too much force, which can lead to damage or discomfort for passengers. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 23 kt from 315°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 7 kt, while the headwind component was 22 kt, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.

The total landing distance was 1,012 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled touchdown.
