This flight was conducted on an Embraer E190 aircraft, departing from London City Airport (EGLC). The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then took off from runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 825 meters, which is 62% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 328 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 09, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 64 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 09, which it navigated in less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was completed over a distance of 5 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 8.5 degrees. The downwind leg was then completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds.

The final approach to runway 27 was made from the east, with a heading of 270 degrees and an altitude of 846 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was conducted on a runway with a length of 1,334 meters, but the threshold height was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 141 knots.

The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which is considered fast, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -76 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at departure, with a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 328 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,329 meters, which is 100% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, taking approximately 7 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 302 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport in the Embraer E190

Landing Score 62.82 %

Landing Summary

The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at London City Airport (EGLC) on runway 27, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 846 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but unfortunately, it did not meet the desired standards.

One of the main issues with the landing was the threshold height, which was significantly above the target height of 96 feet agl. This indicates that the aircraft was not properly configured for landing, which could have contributed to the other issues that arose during the landing. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 141 knots, which is faster than the recommended speed for landing.

The touchdown point was also a concern, as it was located more than 50% of the available runway length away from the threshold. This indicates that the aircraft was not properly aligned with the runway, which could have been due to the misaligned runway touchdown position. The touchdown position was slightly off-centerline by 5.1 meters, which may have contributed to the long touchdown point.

The touchdown speed of 130 knots was also faster than recommended, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -76 feet per minute (fpm), which indicates that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 3°C and winds of 4 knots at 328°. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots, which suggests that the aircraft was not significantly affected by wind during the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,329 meters, which is 100% of the available runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within the available runway length, but it was a close call. The runway rollout alignment was very good, which suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the Embraer E190 was able to land safely at London City Airport, the landing was not without its challenges. The aircraft's performance during the landing was not optimal, and there were several issues that arose during the landing, including a high threshold speed, a long touchdown point, and a fast touchdown speed.
