Next time

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.

Landing on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 94.67 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 257.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height and a well-above-target threshold speed of 150 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was notable, with a touchdown distance of 429 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than expected, indicating a potential for a harder landing. The touchdown rate of -404 feet per minute (fpm) was also hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a more forceful impact upon touchdown.

Despite the slightly faster touchdown speed and harder touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,354 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high degree of precision and control.
