The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, also known as Lisbon Portela Airport. The takeoff distance was 871 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 24 knots from a direction of 329 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Camarate, a location in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,426 feet above sea level to 38,207 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,781 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles east of LPCV Covilhã Airfield in Covilhã, Portugal. This phase of the flight lasted for 77 minutes and covered a distance of 593 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles southwest of Surtainville in Normandie, France. The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,592 feet above sea level to 1,958 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,634 feet.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Groombridge in East Sussex, England. This phase of the flight lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, approaching from the east at a heading of 258.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,336 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 26L was completed at a speed of 121 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown point was 315 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was hard at -426 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.5 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 252 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,389 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.6 meters. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 863 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 143 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,141 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 80.13 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,336 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 315 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run.

The touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly above the target speed, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -426 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's response to the crosswind. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a headwind of 8 knots, were relatively favorable for the landing.

The threshold height at 87 feet agl was significantly above the target, which may have affected the pilot's decision-making during the approach. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 133 knots, which could have been a result of the aircraft's speed being maintained during the approach. The total landing distance of 1,389 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's response to the crosswind or the aircraft's dynamics. Overall, the landing was successful, but with some notable deviations from the ideal parameters. The pilots' performance and the aircraft's handling characteristics will need to be evaluated to identify areas for improvement.
