What went well

Touched down at -228 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 39 ft and 134 kt — both inside band
1.16 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 %, bank angle up to 8.7 ° at 82 %, −0.90 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 52.1 ft left at 53 %, −0.88 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 40 %, −0.62 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 45 ft off the runway centreline.

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

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 307 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 228 fpm.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

Departing from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, the Airbus A321neo began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 35 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. As the aircraft rolled down runway 21R, it accelerated to a liftoff speed of 150 knots, clearing the ground in a distance of 4,486 feet, which represented 53% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 54°F, with a wind speed of 18 knots blowing from a direction of 290°.

As the aircraft climbed away from Detroit, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 7,016 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The climb continued in stages, with the aircraft reaching a cruising altitude of 33,856 feet above sea level after a series of climbs and level cruises. The longest level cruise segment lasted 46 minutes, covering a distance of 302 nautical miles. During the descent phase, the aircraft lost 29,784 feet in altitude in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles. The final approach to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft touching down on runway 35 in a distance of 4,010 feet, which represented 50% of the runway's length.

The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 113 knots and a rate of -168 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 32 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 52 feet from the centreline.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 35 at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport from the south, heading 350.0° at 4 nm and 1,357 ft above ground level (agl), was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent, with the threshold height being well managed. The threshold speed of 135 kt was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 113 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -168 fpm was also within the desired parameters. However, the touchdown point was 1,036 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-rotation or a slightly long touchdown. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 32 ft from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly long touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 37°F and winds of 11 kt at 200°, were not particularly challenging, with a crosswind of 5 kt and a tailwind of 9 kt.

The total landing distance of 4,010 ft was 50% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 52 ft from the centreline, which may indicate a slight deviation during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was good, with a score of 88.8%, indicating a well-executed approach and touchdown, but some room for improvement in terms of centreline alignment during the rollout phase.
