Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 10°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Landing on runway 27R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 94.83 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 27R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl).

The final approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 140 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown speed was still within an acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,238 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient control and stability during the landing.

One area for improvement was the touchdown rate, which was very hard at -522 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have touched down with a higher than ideal rate of descent, which could potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 294°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a stable and controlled landing.

The total landing distance of 4,829 feet was 65% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the Airbus A321's landing on runway 27R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport was a successful one, with a high score of 94.8%. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the touchdown rate, the aircraft demonstrated good control and stability during the landing.
