Landing on runway 35 at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 88.78 %

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.
