The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport, with the Airbus A321 taking off after a distance of 2,442 meters, which is 73% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 139 knots, and the aircraft was able to take off smoothly despite the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 15 knots at 209 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from an altitude of 1,065 feet above sea level to 2,029 feet, an increase of 964 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid climb was achieved while the aircraft was still in the enroute phase, and it continued to climb until it reached the desired altitude.

After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it flew overhead Egham in Surrey, England, and remained at a steady altitude for six minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase of the flight was characterized by a smooth and stable flight path.

As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it began its descent from an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level, heading towards runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport from the east. The aircraft was at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway and was on a heading of 270.0 degrees.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 123 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, at 388 meters, but the touchdown rate was hard, at -454 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, being 6.1 meters off the centerline.

Despite the slightly hard touchdown, the runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a total landing distance of 1,333 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -3,213 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

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

Landing Score 95.93 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,345 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 125 kt, registering at 126 kt. The touchdown distance of 388 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 123 kt was a little fast, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than intended. The touchdown rate of -454 feet per minute (fpm) was also reported as hard, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.1 meters, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 12°C, a wind speed of 11 kt from 200°, resulting in a 10 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.

The total landing distance of 1,333 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled path after touchdown.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.9%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, as well as the runway touchdown position, which may be areas for improvement in future landings.
