The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 13L at Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK). The takeoff distance was 1,943 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Lohmar, Germany. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 38 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,309 feet above sea level to 16,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,698 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile east of Nörvenich Air Base (ETNN) in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Eynatten in Wallonia, Belgium. The descent took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 37 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 15,993 feet above sea level to 6,010 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,983 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Zepperen in Flanders, Belgium. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Kortenaken in Flanders, Belgium. The descent took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 5,708 feet above sea level to 1,484 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,224 feet.

The final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport (EBBR) was made from the east, with a heading of 251.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,329 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25L, which had a length of 3,082 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots.

The touchdown point was 931 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -419 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,300 meters, which accounted for 75% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 135 nautical miles, and the flight took 42 minutes.

Landing on runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 81.61 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 251.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,329 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 931 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have slightly over-extended the landing.

The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -419 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have been descending at a steeper angle than intended, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11°C and winds of 18 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground, but the landing was not without some issues.

The total landing distance was 2,300 meters, which is 75% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, and it may have been due to the aircraft's speed and rate of descent during the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground. However, there are some areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and rate, improving the alignment during the approach and rollout, and optimizing the landing distance.
