The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport, with the Airbus A321 taking off into a local weather condition of 10 °C temperature and a wind of 10 kt at 339 °. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 kt, covering 24% of the runway's length of 845 m.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Harmondsworth, a suburb in Greater London, England. The climb from 1,090 ft asl to 3,007 ft asl was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm and an altitude increase of 1,918 ft. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Virginia Water in Surrey, England. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nm.

The enroute descent phase began overhead Earlsfield in Greater London, England, where the aircraft descended from 3,008 ft asl to 1,425 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm. The descent was a crucial phase in preparing the aircraft for its final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport.

The final approach to runway 27L was made from the east, heading 270.0 ° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,338 ft agl. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,345 m, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 130 kt, and the touchdown point was 90 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 122 kt, but the touchdown rate was good at -191 fpm.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent. The total landing distance was 1,217 m, which was 36% of the runway's length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.

The total flight distance was 32 nm, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. The aircraft used a significant amount of fuel, with a total consumption of -5,105 kg.

Landing on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 99.09 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,338 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good precision, and the aircraft landed on the runway with a very good threshold height.

The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed. However, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 90 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the aircraft's alignment with the runway was very good.

The total landing distance of 1,217 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly, with a very good runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was executed with high precision and control, resulting in a high score of 99.1%.
