Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 35 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 137 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.

What happened: Crossing the threshold at 177 kt, 40 kt above 137 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 137 kt at the threshold.

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 flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 26R at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK), with a takeoff distance of 900 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 129 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 312°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Charlwood in Surrey, England. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,235 feet above sea level to 5,083 feet, an increase of 3,849 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started overhead the town of Slinfold in West Sussex, England, and lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 12 miles southwest of Peacehaven in East Sussex, England. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 6,358 feet to 33,843 feet, an increase of 27,485 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile east of the town of Quevreville-la-Poterie in Normandie, France, and lasted for 33 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 230 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead the town of Cournon-d'Auvergne in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. During this descent, the aircraft descended from 33,977 feet to 1,680 feet, a decrease of 32,297 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 12L at Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport (LFMT) was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 123.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,661 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12L, which had a length of 2,585 meters. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 178 knots, and the touchdown speed was too fast at 159 knots. The touchdown point was 556 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -537 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 25.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 20°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 1,810 meters, which was 70% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 497 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour and 31 minutes, during which the aircraft used 3,426 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 12L at LFMT Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 69.79 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft landed at Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport, with a final approach score of 69.8%. The aircraft was approaching runway 12L from the north-west, heading 123.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,661 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was conducted on a runway with a length of 2,585 meters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 178 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or the pilots may have been unable to slow down sufficiently before touchdown. The touchdown point was 556 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have landed slightly too far down the runway.

The touchdown speed of 159 knots was also reported as too fast, which can increase the risk of wheel lock-up and loss of control. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -537 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, indicating a high rate of descent. This can be a concern for the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.

In addition to the issues with speed and touchdown rate, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.7 meters from the centerline. This can make it more difficult for the pilots to control the aircraft during rollout and can increase the risk of veering off the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions may have contributed to the difficulties experienced by the pilots during the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,810 meters, which is 70% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft may have been able to stop safely within the remaining distance, but the rollout alignment was still misaligned by 25.4 meters from the centerline. This can make it more difficult for the pilots to control the aircraft during rollout and can increase the risk of veering off the runway.

Overall, the landing was not without its challenges, and the pilots may have benefited from additional training or guidance to improve their performance.
