The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 33 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 33, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,789 m, representing 69 % of the runway, and lifted off at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 14 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 066°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and no head-wind.

Climb commenced 1 mile west of Chelmsley Wood (Solihull, England). The A320 rose from 1,323 ft asl to 10,474 ft asl, an increase of 9,150 ft, in 4 minutes while covering 18 nm.

The level cruise segment began 2 miles south-west of Bunbury (Cheshire East, England) and lasted 2 minutes, during which 7 nm were flown.

Descent phase one started overhead EGQH Otherton Airfield Penkridge (Staffordshire, England). Altitude decreased from 10,507 ft asl to 4,091 ft asl, a loss of 6,417 ft, in 6 minutes over a distance of 32 nm.

Descent phase two was initiated 2 miles north-east of Tarporley (Cheshire West and Chester, England). The aircraft descended from 4,091 ft asl to 1,514 ft asl, a reduction of 2,577 ft, in 4 minutes while covering 10 nm.

The final approach to runway 05R at EGCC Manchester Airport was flown from the south-west, on a heading of 51.0° at 4 nm and 1,285 ft agl.

Landing occurred on runway 05R, whose total length is 3,284 m. The threshold height of 61 ft agl was above target, while the threshold speed of 137 kt was satisfactory. Touchdown was recorded 281 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 kt, slightly fast, with a vertical speed of minus 179 fpm and perfect runway-centerline alignment. Local weather at the time was 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 066°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 2 kt.

Rollout distance measured 1,397 m, equivalent to 43 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout.

In total, the flight covered 74 nm, took 21 minutes, and consumed 730 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 05R at EGCC Manchester Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 96.67 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 completed the final approach to runway 05R at EGCC Manchester Airport from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 51.0° at 4 NM and 1,285 ft AGL. Local conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 66°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

At the threshold the aircraft passed the height of 61 ft AGL, which was above the target, while the threshold speed was recorded as a good 137 kt.

Touchdown occurred 281 m beyond the touchdown zone; the speed at touchdown was a little fast at 131 kt, but the vertical rate was good at -179 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,397 m, representing 43 % of the 3,284 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.

To refine future landings, aim to achieve touchdown within the designated zone, targeting the 300-m (1,000-ft) aim point, and adjust the flare to bring touchdown speed closer to the target VREF.
