Threshold crossed at 49 ft and 137 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 3.04 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -422 fpm at 51 %, −0.67 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 4.88 m left at 93 %, −0.20 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 89 %, −0.18 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.

What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.2 g, a high value for that phase.

Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

A flight departed from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (ZSPD), where it began its journey on runway 16R. The aircraft accelerated down the 1,944-meter runway, covering 51% of its length, and lifted off at a speed of 162 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 110°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 5-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed out of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 34,102 feet in 18 minutes and covering 300 nautical miles. The flight then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered 544 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with multiple phases of level flight interspersed with climbs to higher altitudes. Notably, the flight climbed from 34,577 feet to 36,103 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 54 nautical miles. The flight eventually entered a level cruise phase over the Netherlands, before beginning its descent into London Gatwick Airport (EGKK).

The final approach to runway 08R at EGKK was made from the west, with the aircraft descending from 2,639 feet to 1,484 feet in just 2 minutes. The landing was made on the 2,919-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 457 meters and a touchdown speed of 138 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -366 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing a total flight distance of 5,230 nautical miles and using 70,050 kilograms of fuel in the process.

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. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.1 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the braking or taxiing phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 95.4%.
