The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 26R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm on the ground.

During the departure roll on runway 26R, the aircraft used 1,781 m of runway, representing 83 % of the available length, and lifted off at 154 kt; ambient temperature was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 352°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and no head-wind.

The climb commenced 1 mile south-west of Charlwood, Surrey, and the aircraft rose from 1,270 ft asl to 8,370 ft asl, a gain of 7,100 ft achieved in 4 minutes while covering 16 nm.

Descent began 1 mile east of Purley, Greater London, with the airplane descending from 8,396 ft asl to 1,364 ft asl, a loss of 7,031 ft over 7 minutes and a distance of 27 nm.

For the final approach the aircraft was aligned with runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport from the east, flying a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm out and an altitude of 1,277 ft agl.

Landing on runway 27R, which is 3,889 m long, the threshold height of 62 ft agl was above target while the threshold speed was recorded at 137 kt; touchdown occurred 155 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 300 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Weather conditions matched those at takeoff: temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 352°, cross-wind 2 kt, head-wind 0 kt.

The total landing roll measured 1,283 m, equivalent to 33 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment remained perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 7 minutes, traversing 1 nm on the taxiways.

In total, the flight covered 52 nm, took 25, and consumed 715 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 97.22 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 completed the final approach to runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow from the east, flying a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,277 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft crossed the threshold at a height that was above the target, while the threshold speed was good at 137 kt. Ambient temperature was 15 °C and wind was 2 kt from 352°, giving a cross-wind component of 2 kt and no head-wind.

Touchdown occurred 155 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 131 kt that was noted as a little fast and a firm vertical rate of minus 300 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,283 m, representing 33 % of the 3,889 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

To tighten the remaining margins, aim to achieve the prescribed threshold height and reduce touchdown speed toward the target VREF, allowing a smoother flare and lighter touchdown rate. Maintaining these targets will preserve the high overall score while further refining precision.
