Departing from Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 27, it was ready to depart into the warm Greek air, with a temperature of 29 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 8 kt from 310 °. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft accelerated down the 1,579-meter runway, using 58% of its length to lift off into the air at a speed of 164 kt. The initial climb phase was uneventful, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude of 33,990 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 211 nautical miles.

As the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise phase, it leveled off at 33,990 feet, maintaining a steady altitude for 149 minutes while covering a distance of 1,143 nautical miles. The cruise phase was a period of steady state flight, with the aircraft operating efficiently and using minimal fuel. However, as the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 5 miles north of Knokke-Heist in Flanders, Belgium. The descent was a controlled and gradual process, with the aircraft losing 32,355 feet in altitude over a period of 26 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached London Stansted Airport, it began its final approach to runway 22, a 3,037-meter runway that would provide a suitable landing surface. The aircraft was aligned with the runway, heading 223.0 °, and was at an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level when it started its descent. The landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 132 kt and a distance of 212 meters. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -634 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 1,485 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 10,509 kilograms of fuel over a flight time of 210 minutes.

Landing on runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 91.63 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport from the north east was executed with a heading of 223.0° at 4 nm and 1,293 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. The threshold speed was also well-managed, coming in at 133 kt, which is within the acceptable range for a safe touchdown.

As the aircraft touched down on the 3,037 m long runway, the touchdown distance was good at 212 m, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 132 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -634 fpm. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.

The aircraft's rollout was completed with a centreline alignment that was slightly off, but the overall performance was satisfactory. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 249°, contributed to a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 6 kt, which may have affected the approach and touchdown. Overall, the landing performance scored 91.6%, indicating a good but not exceptional execution of the landing.
