See 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.

Landing on runway 05L at EGCC Manchester Airport in the Airbus A321neo
Landing Score 98.06 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 05L at Manchester Airport (EGCC) with a score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 51.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 knots, indicating a slight over-speed. However, the touchdown distance of 330 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.

The aircraft's touchdown rate was firm at -333 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable rate for a safe and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 70°.

The crosswind component was relatively low at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which helped to reduce the overall landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,097 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a reasonable and acceptable distance for a commercial airliner.

During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, demonstrating excellent control and precision. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot achieving a high score of 98.1% and demonstrating excellent flying skills and control.
