Tidy the taxi

It is very easy to taxi too fast when your field of view is limited by the monitor and the body doesn't experience the aircraft movement. Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The real technique is to slow before the turn, then turn at steady speed, not enter fast and reduce the speed with the brakes mid-arc.

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.
