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 used 1,789 m of runway, representing 69 % of the available length, and lifted off at 154 kt; ambient conditions were 14 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 066°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.

Climb commenced approximately 1 mile west of Chelmsley Wood, with the aircraft ascending from 1,323 ft asl to 10,474 ft asl-a gain of 9,150 ft-over 4 minutes while covering 18 nm.

The en-route cruise began 2 miles south-west of Bunbury, lasting 2 minutes and traversing 7 nm at level flight.

Descent began overhead EGQH Otherton Airfield Penkridge, descending from 10,507 ft asl to 4,091 ft asl, a loss of 6,417 ft in 6 minutes and covering 32 nm.

A further descent started 2 miles north-east of Tarporley, dropping from 4,091 ft asl to 1,502 ft asl, a reduction of 2,589 ft in 4 minutes while traveling 10 nm.

The final approach to runway 05R at EGCC Manchester Airport was executed from the south-west on a heading of 51.0° at 4 nm and 1,272 ft agl; local weather reported 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 066°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

Landing on runway 05R, which is 3,277 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 61 ft agl above target and a threshold speed of 137 kt; touchdown was recorded 281 m beyond the touchdown zone at 131 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 179 fpm and perfect alignment.

Runway rollout measured 1,397 m, representing 43 % of the runway length, and alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.

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 97.91 %

Landing Summary

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 1,272 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At the threshold the height of 61 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed of 137 kt was judged good. The flare was executed with the aircraft aligned perfectly for touchdown.

Touchdown occurred 281 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 131 kt, described as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 179 fpm, which was good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the total landing distance measured 1,397 m, representing 43 % of the 3,277 m runway.

Rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 66°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind component of 2 kt.

The primary areas for refinement are the slightly high threshold height and the marginally fast touchdown speed; targeting the correct threshold height and reducing touchdown speed a few knots will bring the landing even closer to the ideal parameters.
