Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at RAF Fairford, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 27, and the takeoff distance was 1,451 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 320°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. After taking off, the enroute climb started overhead Meysey Hampton in Gloucestershire, England, where the aircraft climbed from 1,286 feet above sea level to 6,133 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,847 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise then began overhead Minety in Wiltshire, England, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Greenford in Greater London, England, where it descended from 6,518 feet above sea level to 2,772 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,745 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south east of Brixton in Greater London, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport was made from the east, heading 270.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level.

The landing took place on runway 27L, which was 3,345 meters long. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -150 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 300°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,205 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 8 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 96 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 36 minutes. The aircraft used 1,256 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 98.05 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,262 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions.

The temperature at the time of landing was 1°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 141 knots was well within the acceptable range.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. Fortunately, the touchdown rate was smooth at -150 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.

Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, despite the slightly above-target threshold height and slightly fast touchdown speed. The pilot's ability to manage the crosswind and headwind conditions also contributed to the successful landing.
