Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -286 fpm at 75 %, −0.41 points

Next time

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320 taxied to runway 27 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,263 m 46 % of runway and lifted off at 154 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 14 °C, wind 29 kt at 283 °, with a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 28 kt head-wind component.

Climb began overhead Castle Donington in Leicestershire, with the airplane rising from 1,915 ft asl to 13,000 ft asl, an increase of 11,085 ft achieved in 7 minutes while covering 45 nm.

Level cruise was established overhead Claybrooke Magna, also in Leicestershire, and persisted for 8 minutes, during which the flight traversed 59 nm.

Descent was initiated one mile south-east of Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire, descending from 13,000 ft asl to 834 ft asl, a loss of 12,166 ft in 9 minutes and encompassing 49 nm.

The final approach to runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) was flown from the east, on a heading of 272.0 ° at 2 nm and 749 ft agl.

Landing on runway 27R, whose length is 3,896 m, featured a threshold speed of 135 kt. Touchdown occurred at 374 m down the runway with a speed of 130 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 258 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Weather at the time was temperature 15 °C, wind 29 kt at 283 °, cross-wind 7 kt and head-wind 28 kt.

Rollout distance measured 845 m, representing 22 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.

In total the flight covered 156nm, taking 26 and used 1,206 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 27R at EGLL was conducted from the east on a heading of 272.0° at 2 nm and 749 ft agl, with a temperature of 15 °C and wind 29 kt from 283° producing a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 28 kt head-wind component; the threshold speed was recorded as good at 135 kt.

Threshold height was reported as good and the aircraft maintained the good threshold speed of 135 kt through the flare, establishing the correct height for touchdown.

Touchdown occurred 374 m down the runway at a speed of 130 kt, which was judged good; the vertical rate was fair at minus 258 fpm and the touchdown alignment was perfect.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 845 m, representing 22 % of the 3 ,896 m runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.

With a final score of 99.4 % and all phases rated good or perfect, refinement of the descent rate to achieve a smoother touchdown would further enhance performance while preserving the excellent speed, alignment and distance control already demonstrated.
