Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport was conducted from the west, aligning with the heading of 78.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a firm touchdown rate of -366 feet per minute, with a touchdown speed of 138 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was good at 457 meters, indicating a well-controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.4 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind of 10 knots at 59°, contributed to a relatively calm environment for the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,741 meters was 60% of the runway length, indicating a controlled rollout.
