The Airbus A321 aircraft departed runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport, rolling down the asphalt in preparation for takeoff. The takeoff distance covered 1,446 meters, or 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at a velocity of 177 knots, propelling the craft into the sky. The local weather conditions consisted of a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, accompanied by a gentle 7-knot headwind from a direction of 270 degrees.

As the aircraft gained altitude, the climb commenced 1 mile south of Harmondsworth. In a mere 5 minutes, the plane ascended from an initial height of 1,089 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 15,756 feet, an increase of 14,667 feet. This impressive climb translated into 24 nautical miles of distance covered. Once established in the climb phase, the plane's ascent continued in an efficient manner, requiring minimal adjustments in its trajectory.

The enroute level cruise segment started 1 mile southeast of Wingrave, within Buckinghamshire, England. During this period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude, flying consistently and covering 43 nautical miles within a 7-minute timeframe.

Next, the enroute descent began 1 mile south of Countesthorpe, in Leicestershire, England. In a gradual descent, the aircraft dropped from 15,763 feet to 3,538 feet above sea level, losing 12,225 feet in the process. This downward trajectory lasted for 14 minutes and spanned 64 nautical miles. After this initial descent phase, the aircraft entered a brief second level cruise, initiated 2 miles northeast of Glossop, Derbyshire, England. The short 3-minute cruise period covered 6 nautical miles.

Following the second brief level cruise period, the enroute descent began as the aircraft flew over the town of Hyde. The plane steadily decreased its altitude from 2,922 feet to 1,541 feet above sea level, covering a total distance of 4 nautical miles and lasting 2 minutes.

Finally, the aircraft commenced the final approach to runway 23R at Manchester Airport, heading toward the north east with a bearing of 231.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level, and distance of 4 nautical miles.

The Airbus A321 executed a successful landing on the runway, touching down 126 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The initial touchdown speed of 126 knots was satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -66 feet per minute was excellent.

However, the touch down point was 11.1 meters off centerline of the runway due to some alignment issues. The total landing distance accounted for 1,334 meters, or 55% of the runway length. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment slightly deviated from the centerline, offset by 12.5 meters.

Taxiing from the runway to the assigned parking space took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Overall, the flight covered 147 nautical miles, utilizing 1,608 kilograms of fuel throughout the entire journey and lasting 37 minutes.

Landing on runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport in the Airbus A321
Landing Score 94.1 %
Landing Summary

The described Airbus A321 landing demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency on the part of the crew. The aircraft touched down on runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport with a good threshold height and an appropriate threshold speed of 136 kt.

The actual touchdown point was reported as being 126 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which suggests that the crew had a slight underestimation of the aircraft's approach distance or an error in aligning the aircraft on the centreline during the final approach phase. This deviation from the ideal touchdown point, however, did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall safety of the flight.

The touchdown speed of 126 kt and the touchdown rate of -66 fpm (fpm) were reported as being excellent, both of which are desirable parameters in an aircraft landing. The aircraft's speed and descent rate in the moment of touchdown suggest that the crew had carefully controlled the approach and were able to deliver the aircraft with precision.

The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a relatively cold temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and gentle wind conditions. The wind was blowing at a speed of 5 kt from a heading of 170 degrees, resulting in a 5 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component. The presence of a headwind, albeit a moderate one, may have contributed to a slightly longer-than-expected landing distance.

In terms of distance, the total landing distance was 1,334 meters, which is approximately 55 percent of the length of the available runway, at 2,434 meters. This suggests that the aircraft had sufficient runway performance to stop safely, even with the slight misalignment during rollout. Despite the marginal misalignment of 12.5 meters during the runway roll-out phase, the crew were able to safely bring the aircraft to a stop.

Overall, the A321's landing in this scenario was a strong one, showcasing the crew's abilities to execute a controlled approach and a safe touchdown. However, a careful analysis of the deviations from ideal parameters highlights the need for ongoing crew training and improvement strategies to optimize performance and achieve higher levels of proficiency.
