Landing Score 95.57 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted in good weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 8 kt at 200°.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 124 kt, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 372 meters, and the touchdown speed was 116 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm, at -315 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions, including a headwind of 4 kt and a crosswind of 7 kt, did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance was 1,151 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. After touchdown, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
