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

Landing Score 96.92 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 77.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 136 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed. However, the touchdown distance of 442 meters was considered good, suggesting that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -380 feet per minute (fpm). A firm touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate a higher risk of damage to the aircraft's landing gear.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or other factors. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 170°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was negligible.

The total landing distance of 1,241 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a high score of 96.9%.
