The departure roll took place on runway 33 at Birmingham International Airport (EGBB), with a takeoff distance of 1,208 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a 5-knot headwind at 320°. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of Chelmsley Wood, Solihull, England, and reached an altitude of 3,999 feet above sea level (asl) after climbing 2,650 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, while flying over Nether Whitacre, Warwickshire, England, and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The next enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile south of Keresley, Coventry, England, and reached an altitude of 14,421 feet asl after climbing 10,143 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered a descent phase, starting approximately 1 mile northeast of Croughton, Northamptonshire, England, and descending from 14,422 feet asl to 5,125 feet asl in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes, while flying over Bushey, Hertfordshire, England, and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.

The next descent phase began approximately 2 miles north of Canary Wharf, Greater London, England, and descended from 5,017 feet asl to 3,052 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, while flying over Blackheath, Greater London, England, and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The final descent phase began overhead Battersea, Greater London, England, and descended from 3,008 feet asl to 1,382 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL), flying from the east at a heading of 270.0° and at an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft landed on runway 27R, which had a length of 3,591 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 128 knots. The touchdown point was 102 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -269 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 1,337 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The post-landing taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Airbus A340

Landing Score 97.45 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A340 successfully landed on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,591 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 128 knots. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was 102 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

However, the touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more gradual descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach or landing technique.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.

The total landing distance of 1,337 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and successfully aligned the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the rollout phase. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment with the centerline of the runway.
