Landing on runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 96.84 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at London Gatwick Airport's runway 08R with a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 77.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 354 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was also good at 125 knots. However, the touchdown rate was only fair at -236 feet per minute, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly.

One notable issue during the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-center by 7.7 meters. This could have been due to various factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a headwind of 11 knots.

The total landing distance was 849 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that could be improved upon. The pilot's ability to maintain a good threshold height and touchdown speed was commendable, but the misalignment of the runway touchdown position and runway rollout alignment were areas for improvement.
