Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an A321-253NX, then departed from runway 28R at Dublin Airport (EIDW), with a takeoff distance of 1,549 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 207 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,201 feet above sea level to 8,988 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,787 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.

The enroute climb continued with multiple segments, each with a significant increase in altitude. The aircraft climbed from 8,996 feet above sea level to 22,981 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,985 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 45 nautical miles. This was followed by a level cruise segment, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles.

The flight continued with another enroute climb segment, which took the aircraft from 22,985 feet above sea level to 32,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,011 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 49 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise segment, which lasted 5 minutes and covered 44 nautical miles.

As the flight approached its destination, the aircraft began its descent from 33,002 feet above sea level to 7,247 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,756 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 126 nautical miles. The descent continued with multiple segments, each with a significant decrease in altitude.

The final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) was made from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,243 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 119 knots and a touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute. However, the touchdown point was 785 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 249 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,839 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.5 meters from the centerline.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 316 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 65 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,410 kilograms.

Landing Score 75.88 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, an Airbus A321-253NX, successfully landed at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) on runway 27L. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,243 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 75.9%.

The threshold height at 89 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. However, the threshold speed of 135 knots was good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a suitable airspeed for the landing. The touchdown point was 785 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot.

The touchdown speed of 119 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 249°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's misaligned touchdown.

The total landing distance of 1,839 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown misalignment.

Overall, while the aircraft's performance during the landing was good in some aspects, there were significant deviations from the intended landing spot and alignment. Further analysis and training may be necessary to improve the pilot's skills and reduce the risk of similar incidents in the future.
