Landing on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 96.04 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 284 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -438 feet per minute (fpm).

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.

The total landing distance of 1,386 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly controlled during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
