The aircraft flown was an Airbus A321 that departed from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, situated at ELLX. The taxiing process from the parking bay to the runway took 6 minutes, covering a distance of approximately 1 nautical mile. Once clear to depart, the aircraft rolled onto the runway 06 and lifted off after a takeoff distance of 1,197 meters, which is roughly 30% of the runway length.

The aircraft took off with an airspeed of 149 knots. On board, the flight staff were monitoring the local weather conditions, which reported a temperature of 24 °C and a wind speed of 12 knots coming from a direction of 100 °. The crosswind was 8 knots and the headwind was 10 knots, presenting a slight challenge for the pilot during takeoff and landing.

After the takeoff, the aircraft began its initial climb from an altitude of 2,169 feet above sea level to an altitude of 38,102 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,933 feet over a distance of 134 nautical miles. The climbing process took approximately 23 minutes. The enroute climb started over a location known as Senningen in Luxembourg.

As the aircraft approached its cruising altitude, the flight crew began preparations for enroute descent. The descent process started 1 mile south west of Assenede in Belgium, at an altitude of 38,209 feet above sea level. The aircraft descended to an altitude of 30,047 feet above sea level, decreasing by 8,162 feet over a distance of 25 nautical miles in 3 minutes.

Throughout the flight, the aircraft's flight crew made a series of level cruises to ensure the continued airworthiness and stability of the aircraft. The first level cruise took place over a location 1 mile north west of Wenduine, lasting 3 minutes over a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft's subsequent level cruises took place over locations near Horsham in England and Rudgwick in the same region.

The last notable level cruise occurred 1 mile south east of Horsham, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. Following this, the flight entered its final descent, which started 20 miles north west of Koksijde in Flanders. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 29,610 feet above sea level to an altitude of 2,998 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,612 feet over a distance of 101 nautical miles in 20 minutes.

The descent from an altitude of 2,928 feet above sea level to an altitude of 1,488 feet above sea level took place over a distance of 5 nautical miles in just 2 minutes near Rudgwick.

During its final approach to runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, the aircraft approached from the west with a heading of 78.0 °. However, it performed a go-around at an altitude of 1,117 feet above ground level after failing to land correctly.

Upon retrying the landing, the aircraft touched down successfully, taking a touchdown distance of 449 meters on a runway length of 2,495 meters. The touchdown speed, at 130 knots, was slightly higher than the target speed, while the touchdown rate, at -271 fpm, was a fair measurement.

The roll out alignment after the touchdown was very good. Once the aircraft came to a complete stop, the pilots started the taxiing process, which took a total of 3 minutes to move from the runway to the nearest parking bay. The entire flight, which had a total distance of 306 nautical miles, took 77 minutes to complete and the aircraft used 4,056 kilograms of fuel throughout its duration.

Landing on runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 97.72 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 08R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a score of 97.7%. The pilot executed the final approach from the west at a heading of 78.0° and an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). With a runway length of 2,495 meters, the A321 touched down safely, meeting the threshold height requirements.

The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 kt (or approximately 155 mph), reaching an impressive 136 kt (157.2 mph). This was likely due to the aircraft's airspeed being slightly higher than the optimal approach speed. The touchdown distance of 449 meters was well within the acceptable range, indicating a precise and controlled landing.

However, the touchdown speed of 130 kt (150.7 mph) was slightly faster than recommended, contributing to a touchdown rate of -271 feet per minute (fpm). Although not ideal, the runway touchdown alignment was deemed perfect, signifying a high level of control and precision during the landing.

The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 22 °C (71.6 °F) and wind speeds of 18 kt at 120°, presented a moderate headwind component of 14 kt. This, combined with a 12 kt crosswind, could have influenced the pilot's approach and landing strategy. Despite these weather factors, the pilot managed to maintain control and execute a successful landing.

The total landing distance of 1,597 meters was equivalent to 64% of the actual runway length, which is a relatively long landing distance. Nonetheless, the runway rollout alignment was reported to be very good, indicating an effective braking and deceleration phase.

Overall, this landing was characterized by a high degree of precision and control, with some minor areas for improvement. The successful execution of the landing, considering the given weather conditions, highlights the skills and expertise of the pilot.
