Landing on runway 05R at EGCC Manchester Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 99.18 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EGCC Manchester Airport, scoring an impressive 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway 05R from the south west with a heading of 51.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level. This approach angle provided a clear landing path onto the designated runway.

During the landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 130 knots, significantly above the target threshold speed. This high touchdown speed is typically undesirable as it can lead to longer stopping distances, but in this case, the aircraft managed to stop within a safe distance. The actual touchdown speed was slightly fast at 120 knots, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -259 feet per minute.

The pilot's judgment of the aircraft's descent and touchdown point proved to be somewhat inaccurate, with the aircraft touching down slightly off-centerline by 3.9 meters from the runway's centerline. However, the runway rollout alignment after touchdown was extremely good, indicating that the aircraft's post-touchdown control was well-maintained.

Given the weather conditions, the pilots had to deal with a relatively strong crosswind of 10 knots and a significant headwind of 17 knots. These conditions demanded precise control of the aircraft, particularly during the final stages of the approach and touchdown. Despite these challenging conditions, the landing was successful, with the total landing distance being 1,758 meters, which equated to 61% of the available runway length. Although there were some areas for improvement, the pilots demonstrated good flying skills and the aircraft performed admirably, making it a commendable landing operation.
