The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport, with the Boeing 787-9 aircraft taking off after a distance of 1,117 meters, which was 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 29 knots from a direction of 228 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 26 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England, rising from an altitude of 1,276 feet above sea level to 40,195 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,918 feet in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 18 miles north of Auderville in Normandie, France, lasting for 65 minutes and covering 499 nautical miles.

The aircraft then started its enroute descent 3 miles east of Tabuenca in Aragon, Spain, descending from 41,846 feet above sea level to 4,641 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,205 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 190 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise was briefly resumed 1 mile southwest of Sax in Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, lasting for just 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.

The final descent began 2 miles northeast of La Romana in Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, with the aircraft descending from 4,643 feet above sea level to 1,439 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,204 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10 at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport from the west, heading 100 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 2,985 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.

However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -377 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 179 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,138 meters, which was 72% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 814 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 122 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,005 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 10 at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport in the Boeing 787-9

Landing Score 85.46 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 787-9 aircraft successfully landed at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, with a final approach score of 85.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed on runway 10, which has a length of 2,985 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots. However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly too long or the pilots may have been trying to use up as much of the runway as possible.

The touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -377 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.4 meters, which may have been due to crosswind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 31°C, and a moderate wind blowing at 15 knots from 179°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,138 meters, which is 72% of the available runway length.

After touchdown, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.2 meters. This may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial misalignment, or it could be a result of the pilots not fully correcting for the crosswind. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown point and runway alignment.
