What went well

Threshold crossed at 47 ft and 139 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.11 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 93 %

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -434 fpm at 48 %, Touchdown distance was 663 m at 78 %, −0.94 points
Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 212 kt against 174 kt at 76 %, −0.65 points
Departure Taxi — peak speed in a turn 21 kt at 76 %, −0.63 points

Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 174 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 38 kt fast at 212 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 174 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 330 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 434 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

Departing from London Gatwick Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 08R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 53% of the 1,328-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 167 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 120°, resulting in a 10-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Horley, Surrey, England, at an altitude of 1,210 feet above sea level. Over the course of 21 minutes, the aircraft ascended to a cruising altitude of 34,729 feet, a vertical increase of 33,519 feet, while covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 9 miles north of Alderney Airport, Saint Anne, Guernsey, and lasted for 87 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 621 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent 2 miles north of Navahermosa, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, and descended to an altitude of 7,482 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,486 feet, in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 13 at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,367 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 3,203-meter runway, with a touchdown point located 245 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 129 knots. The total landing distance was 1,302 meters, accounting for 41% of the runway length. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 942 nautical miles, with a flight duration of 157 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 7,343 kilograms of fuel during the journey.

However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft remained centered on the runway during the touchdown. The rollout phase was also executed well, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment throughout. The total landing distance of 1,302 m, which accounts for 41% of the runway length, is within the acceptable range for an aircraft of this size.

The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent from 1,367 ft agl to the runway threshold. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a smooth and predictable approach.
