Landing on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in the Airbus A321
Landing Score 98.71 %
Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport from the east was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 258.0° at 4 nm and 1,329 ft above ground level. The approach was conducted in a 1,329 ft height above the threshold, which was considered good. The threshold speed of 135 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight increase in power application during the final stages of the approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 129 kt was a little fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -220 fpm. The touchdown distance of 382 m was good, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a wind of 5 kt at 190°, contributed to a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.

The total landing distance of 1,352 m, which accounted for 54% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 98.7% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown characteristics.
