This flight was operated by an Airbus A319 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey from London Luton Airport (EGGW) and departed from runway 25. The departure roll took approximately 9 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 240 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots.
As the aircraft progressed enroute, it began its initial climb at an altitude of 1,401 feet above sea level, eventually reaching a height of 17,624 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. This climb started near Luton, England. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, flying over various locations, including Northampton and Bamford. It also made two separate descent phases, one from 17,606 feet to 4,364 feet in 11 minutes, and another from 4,116 feet to 1,540 feet in 4 minutes. The local weather conditions during these phases remained generally consistent, with temperatures around 15 degrees Celsius and gentle winds.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC) from the north-east, heading 231.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles away, and at an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23R, which has an overall length of 2,434 meters, was executed smoothly. The aircraft's touchdown point was 241 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but it landed at a respectable speed of 112 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by a distance of 5.1 meters.
The final approach and landing were affected by local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 0 and 2 knots, respectively. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,766 meters, which accounted for 73 percent of the runway's length. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was deemed very good. Following the landing, the aircraft was taxied to its designated parking area, a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, in approximately 4 minutes. The total flight distance was 129 nautical miles, covering a duration of 41 minutes, and utilizing 1,792 kilograms of fuel.

The Airbus A319 successfully completed a landing on runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport, scoring an impressive 85.0% on the overall performance. The aircraft's final approach to the runway was initiated from the north east, heading 231.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles away from the runway.
The landing on the runway was executed with precision, with the threshold height being well above the target. This indicates a good vertical separation from the runway surface, thereby reducing the risk of a hard touchdown or a bounce. The threshold speed of 124 knots was also within the targeted parameters, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's speed effectively.
However, the touchdown point was slightly misaligned from the centreline, being approximately 5.1 meters off. This deviation would likely have been caused by a slight discrepancy in the pilots' alignment or a minor gust of wind. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 112 knots was deemed good, indicating that the pilots were able to smoothly reduce the aircraft's speed during the landing.
Another critical aspect of the landing was the firm touchdown rate of -396 feet per minute (fpm), which was acceptable given the runway's length. A firm touchdown rate can sometimes lead to excessive stopping distances, but in this case, it was effectively managed by the pilots.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a consistent and smooth deceleration throughout the landing. Given the local weather conditions, which were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots from 220 degrees, and a very minimal crosswind component, the landing was largely unaffected.
The total landing distance of 1,766 meters, which represents 73% of the runway length, was relatively manageable. Overall, the A319's performance on runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport demonstrated good control and precision, culminating in a safe and successful landing.
