What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -757 fpm at 0 %, g force 1.08 to 1.89 g at 63 %, −1.46 points
Arrival Approach — landing lights off should be on; 1,000 ft gate 71 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −1.43 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 6.12 m left at 89 %, −0.34 points

Next time

Arrival

Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 141 kt rather than carrying excess speed.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 152 kt, 11 kt above the 141 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 2.2° in the flare, taking out little of the sink. Crossing the threshold fast like this usually carries extra energy into a flare that barely arrests the sink, and that combination usually ends in a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 141 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

Flight narrative

The flight departed from Manchester Airport, where the Airbus A320 began its journey down runway 23L. After a 6-minute taxi, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 169 kt, covering 959 meters of the 2,900-meter runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, with a wind speed of 17 kt from 209 °, resulting in a 6 kt crosswind and a 16 kt headwind.

As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed through several phases of ascent and descent, with notable climbs from Mobberley and Sandbach, and descents from Towcester and Herne Bay. The aircraft's enroute climb from 1,208 ft to 20,007 ft, an increase of 15,074 ft, was achieved in 9 minutes and covered 57 nm. The flight's total distance was 265 nm, with a total flight time of 59 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,474 kg. The aircraft's level cruise phases, which lasted between 2 and 6 minutes, covered distances ranging from 7 to 26 nm.

The final approach to London City Airport's runway 27 was initiated from the east, with the aircraft descending from 3,827 ft to 1,902 ft in 2 minutes and covering 4 nm. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 89 m and a touchdown speed of 144 kt. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -908 fpm. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in 2 minutes. Overall, the flight demonstrated good performance, with a runway touchdown alignment that was perfect and a runway rollout alignment that was very good.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. However, the threshold speed of 152 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a slightly aggressive approach. The touchdown distance of 89 m was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 144 kt was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively.

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The heavy touchdown rate of -908 fpm was likely a result of the fast touchdown speed, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the subsequent rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a headwind of 14 kt, were favorable for the landing, and the crosswind of 6 kt was well within manageable limits.

The total landing distance of 621 m was 47% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a landing at EGLC London City Airport. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of a high standard, with a score of 88.7% reflecting the minor issues with the threshold speed and touchdown speed.
