Vertical Speed of the A321


OE-LGH

Recommended Posts

Hi, I just took off with the freshly released A321 with IAE engines and no sharklets from runway 03R at Athens. The TOW was 77100 kgs. Shortly after take off the aircraft started to climb with nearly 5000 ft/min and reached FL100 after 3 minutes and FL350 after 14 minutes. This seems a bit overdone to me, so please fix that.

 

All the best

I've done 3 flights with the A321 so far, ZFW between empty and up to 69 tons. So far it has been the smoothest of the new Aerobusses yet. Climbs as expected and descends on the profile without the need for spoilers.

Having flown the 321 extensively in the real world its climb performance needs a significant reduction.

at high weights the aircraft needs over 230nm to get to cruise altitude of 29000.

It needs a big reduction in performance.
