What went well

Touched down at -157 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 1.91 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.13 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, −1.64 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 7.07 m at 85 %, −0.20 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 676 m at 76 %, −0.18 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

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 taxiing from the parking bay at London Gatwick Airport to the runway, which took approximately 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 miles, or 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then commenced its departure roll from runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport.

Upon departure, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 168 knots. The local weather conditions included a temperature of 20°C and wind speeds of 21 knots at a 60-degree angle. The crosswind was recorded at 6 knots, while the headwind stood at 20 knots.

Following takeoff, the aircraft entered an enroute climb, beginning 1 mile south of Horley in Surrey, England. It rose from an altitude of 1,224 feet above sea level to 5,711 feet, a vertical increase of 4,487 feet, within 2 minutes and covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The aircraft then transitioned into an enroute level cruise, commencing 1 mile south of Edenbridge in Kent, England. This phase of the flight lasted for 11 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 45 nautical miles. Later, it began another climb phase, this time starting overhead the Channel Gliding Club in Dover, Kent, England. It climbed from an altitude of 5,841 feet to 35,735 feet, an increase of 29,894 feet, over a period of 21 minutes and a distance of 138 nautical miles.

After completing this climb phase, the aircraft entered another level cruise, beginning 1 mile north-east of Liernu in Wallonia, Belgium. This was the longest cruise phase of the flight, lasting a total of 153 minutes and covering an impressive 1,124 nautical miles.

The aircraft's next phase was a descent, which started 11 miles south-east of AG13 Amphibious Ready Group in Central Greece. It descended from an altitude of 36,767 feet to 1,264 feet, a vertical decrease of 35,502 feet, within 18 minutes and a distance of 98 nautical miles.

Following this descent phase, the aircraft once again entered a level cruise, this time starting 3 miles south-east of Vathy in North Aegean, Greece. This brief cruise phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a short distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to the runway at Samos Airport (LGSM) was executed from the east, with the aircraft heading 274.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,244 feet above ground level.

Upon landing on runway 27 at LGSM Samos Airport, the aircraft experienced a touchdown point that was 262 meters beyond the touchdown zone. This touchdown occurred at a speed of 132 knots, which was slightly higher than the target speed. However, the touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute was within the desirable range, and the runway touchdown alignment was found to be very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C and wind speeds of 3 knots at an angle of 32°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.

After landing, the aircraft's total landing distance was recorded at 1,415 meters, which equated to 72% of the runway's length. Runway rollout alignment was similarly found to be very good.

Taxiing from the runway to the parking bay took a mere 1 minute, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. In total, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,424 nautical miles and consumed 8,958 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 225 minutes.

Landing on runway 27 at LGSM Samos Airport in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 88.2 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 performed a landing on runway 27 at LGSM Samos Airport with a score of 88.2%. The final approach to the runway, which is situated at a heading of 274.0° from the east at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level (agl), was executed successfully.

Upon landing, the aircraft's performance showed some areas of improvement. The threshold height was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft descended slightly short of the ideal height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 138 knots, demonstrating the pilot's precise control over the aircraft's speed.

The touchdown point was located 262 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may have been a result of a slight overestimate of the runway's length by the pilot. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly higher than the recommended speed, potentially increasing the risk of a longer rollout. On a positive note, the touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute (fpm) was good, reflecting a smooth and controlled descent.

Runway conditions played a negligible role in this landing, with the temperature at 22°C and moderate local wind speeds of 3 knots from a direction of 32°. These conditions, combined with a relatively weak crosswind of 2 knots, resulted in a negligible tailwind effect. Consequently, runway and aircraft alignment remained excellent during the landing, contributing to the satisfactory outcomes.

The total landing distance of 1,415 meters, equivalent to about 72% of the runway's length, is considered acceptable and reflects the aircraft's ability to safely decelerate within the available distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in maintaining control during the landing roll phase. Overall, this landing performance exhibited a good balance between precision and speed control, showcasing the pilot's skills in handling the Airbus A320 under the given conditions.
