Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 90 %, −0.10 points

Next time

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

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

Flight narrative

The flight in question began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from its parking spot to the runway at Cork Airport (EICK), which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. As it began its departure roll on runway 34, the local weather conditions called for a temperature of 17°C, with winds of 14 knots at a direction of 269 degrees. The aircraft took off with a liftoff speed of 150 knots, utilizing 56% of the runway's 1,189-meter takeoff distance.

Following takeoff, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb from a height of 1,443 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 38,657 feet. This climb, which took 24 minutes and covered 163 nautical miles, involved a significant increase in altitude, from 1,443 feet to 38,657 feet. After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute level cruise, initially starting 1 mile north of Cork Airport and later near Woolfardisworthy in Devon, England. These cruises spanned a total of 7 minutes and 46 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its enroute descent from the cruising altitude of 38,822 feet to a lower altitude. The first descent, which took place over Aylesbeare in Devon, involved a decrease in altitude of 31,858 feet over a distance of 124 nautical miles and lasted 21 minutes. This was followed by several more enroute level cruises, including a 2-minute cruise at an altitude of 6,981 feet, 1 mile north east of Burgess Hill, and subsequent cruises near Tonbridge and Edenbridge in Kent, England.

The aircraft eventually began its final approach to runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK), from the east, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,301 feet above ground level. The winds during this phase were 11 knots at a direction of 210 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft landed safely on the 2,495-meter runway, with the touchdown being slightly to the right of the centerline due to a runway touchdown position misalignment of 6.6 meters.

The local weather conditions during landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and wind speeds of 11 knots at 210 degrees. Despite the threshold speed being slightly above the target, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -324 feet per minute. The total landing distance of 1,307 meters was 52% of the runway's length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft took 6 minutes to taxi back to its parking spot, covering another 1 nautical mile. In total, the flight covered a distance of 365 nautical miles, took 74 minutes, and utilized 3,690 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 96.92 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at London Gatwick Airport's runway 26L with a score of 96.9%. The final approach began from the east, at a heading of 258.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the airport, at an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level. The aircraft followed the runway's centerline, landing smoothly on the designated runway 26L, which has a length of 2,495 meters.

The pilot's performance during the initial stages of landing was commendable, with the threshold height maintained well. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than the target, clocking in at 133 knots. The touchdown distance of 328 meters was within the acceptable limits, showcasing the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable speed.

Although the touchdown speed of 127 knots was a bit fast, the landing did not result in any significant issues. The touchdown rate of -324 feet per minute was firm but within the standard limits. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 6.6 meters.

The prevailing weather conditions played a significant role in the landing. The temperature was 19 degrees Celsius, and wind conditions were relatively mild, with a speed of 11 knots from 210 degrees. This led to a moderate crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully navigated the aircraft to a smooth touchdown.

The total landing distance of 1,307 meters was within 52% of the runway length, indicating a controlled application of the brakes to bring the aircraft to a halt. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in maintaining a stable path after touchdown. Overall, this landing showcased the pilot's skill and ability to handle various conditions, resulting in a satisfactory outcome with minimal deviations from the standards.
