The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,767 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of College Park, Georgia. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 149 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,968 feet above sea level to 35,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,042 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead the SC00 Triple Tree Airport in Woodruff, South Carolina. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 375 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead the MD18 Horn Point Airport in Cambridge, Maryland. The descent took 32 minutes and covered a distance of 170 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,995 feet above sea level to 214 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,781 feet.

The final approach to runway 31 at LaGuardia Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 302.0 degrees at an altitude of 191 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 6,990 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 143 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,171 feet, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -274 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 328 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 3,856 feet, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.

The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 701 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 91 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,411 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 97.76 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 31 with a score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 302.0° at an altitude of 191 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 143 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -274 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of deceleration.

The aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 328°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.

The total landing distance of 3,856 feet was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the landing process. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown rate, which can be addressed through further training and practice.
