The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23R at Manchester Airport, with the Airbus A320 taking off after a distance of 1,576 meters, which is 65% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots coming from a direction of 179 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north of Mobberley in Cheshire East, England. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,222 feet above sea level to 14,337 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,115 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 4 miles east of Stone in Staffordshire, England, lasting for 11 minutes and covering 63 nautical miles.

The enroute descent began 2 miles east of Croughton in Northamptonshire, England, where the aircraft descended from 14,809 feet above sea level to 1,378 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,431 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport was made from the east, heading 270 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport took place on a runway with a length of 3,345 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 144 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -178 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots coming from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 2,058 meters, which is 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 142 nautical miles, taking 38 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,539 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 96.56 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft has successfully landed at EGLL London Heathrow Airport on runway 27L, achieving a score of 96.6%. The landing approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at an altitude of 1,280 feet (about 4 nautical miles) above ground level (agl).

Upon final approach, the aircraft successfully landed on the designated runway, which spans 3,345 meters. The threshold height, indicating the point of decision where pilots determine whether to attempt to land, was reported as good. However, the threshold speed, which is a critical indicator of the aircraft's airspeed during the final approach, was slightly above the target speed, reaching 134 knots.

The touchdown point, where the aircraft touched down on the runway, was measured to be 144 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. While not ideally positioned, it was still within a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little faster than the desired landing speed, but the touchdown rate was good, measured at 178 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down safely and without severe deceleration.

The wind conditions at the time of landing were minimal, with a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots originating from 280°. The crosswind component was negligible at 1 knot, while the headwind component played a positive role in the landing by providing an effective speed reduction.

The total landing distance, which is used to assess the pilot's performance in terms of landing technique, was 2,058 meters. This corresponds to 62% of the available runway length of 3,345 meters. Finally, the runway rollout alignment, which refers to the aircraft's position in relation to the runway centerline after touchdown, was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. This indicates a slight deviation from the ideal alignment but does not compromise safety.
