Next time

Departure

Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.

What happened: Climb speed was 26 kt fast at 196 kt during the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb

See Departure Climb 3

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

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway, a movement that lasted 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 09R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, using a takeoff distance of 1,378 m, which represented 41 % of the runway. Liftoff was achieved at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 23 kt from 68 °, including an 8 kt crosswind and a 21 kt headwind.

Climb began approximately 1 mile north west of Feltham, Greater London, England, with the airplane ascending from 1,092 ft asl to 25,000 ft asl, an increase of 23,908 ft achieved in 13 minutes while covering 80 nm.

Descent was initiated overhead Countesthorpe, Leicestershire, England, descending from 25,000 ft asl to 1,503 ft asl, a loss of 23,497 ft over 16 minutes and a distance of 87 nm.

The final approach to runway 05L at EGCC Manchester Airport was flown from the south west, on a heading of 51.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,275 ft agl.

The aircraft touched down on runway 05L, which is 2,611 m long; the threshold height of 58 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was recorded at 136 kt. Touchdown distance measured 289 m, touchdown speed was 131 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 721 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 6.9 m from the centreline.

Total landing distance was 837 m, representing 32 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Weather at the time remained 15 °C with a wind of 23 kt from 68 °, a 7 kt crosswind and a 22 kt headwind.

After rollout, the Airbus A320 taxied from the runway to the parking area, a maneuver that lasted 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered 174nm, took 38 and consumed 1,624 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 83.27 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 commenced final approach to runway 05L at EGCC Manchester Airport from the south-west, on a heading of 51.0° at 4 nm and 1,275 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At threshold the aircraft encountered a height of 58 ft AGL, which was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 136 kt.

Touchdown occurred 289 m down the runway, which is within the good range, with a speed of 131 kt that was a little fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was very heavy at minus 721 fpm, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.9 m from the centreline. Total landing distance measured 837 m, representing 32 % of the 2,611 m runway.

Runway rollout alignment was very good, maintaining centreline tracking through the deceleration phase.

Reduce the sink rate during the flare to achieve a lighter touchdown and bring the vertical speed closer to the target range. Adjust the approach speed to be nearer the reference value to avoid the slight excess observed at 131 kt, which will also help control the touchdown point.
