Landing on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 96.06 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, a 2,495-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed.

The touchdown characteristics were generally satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 400 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly behind the power-off glide slope. The touchdown rate of -255 feet per minute was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration upon touchdown. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a miscalculation of the wind drift.

The aircraft's rollout was well-handled, with excellent alignment on the runway centreline. The total landing distance of 1,114 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length, was acceptable. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind of 30 knots at 210°, contributed to the overall performance of the landing. Overall, the landing scored 96.1%, reflecting a good but not outstanding performance.
