The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 09R at London Heathrow (EGLL) in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 09R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 154 kt and became airborne after traveling 1,501 m, which represented 45 % of the runway length; ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 79°, including a 3 kt cross-wind and a 15 kt head-wind.

Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north-west of Feltham, rising from 1,114 ft asl to 16,651 ft asl - a gain of 15,536 ft - over 7 minutes while covering 37 nm.

The aircraft entered level cruise about 1 mile south-west of Hartshill, maintaining altitude for 6 minutes and traversing 28 nm.

Descent began 1 mile west of Toddington, descending from 16,684 ft asl to 4,189 ft asl, a loss of 12,496 ft, in 9 minutes and over a distance of 50 nm.

A further descent segment started 1 mile east of Shareshill, dropping from 4,189 ft asl to 1,608 ft asl - a decrease of 2,580 ft - within 4 minutes while covering 12 nm.

The final approach to runway 15 at Birmingham International (EGBB) was executed from the north-west on a heading of 146.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,282 ft agl.

Landing on runway 15 was achieved with a threshold height of 57 ft agl and a threshold speed of 136 kt; touchdown occurred 194 m beyond the touchdown zone at 130 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 195 fpm and perfect alignment, while local weather reported 14 °C, wind 15 kt from 79°, a 14 kt cross-wind and a 6 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,249 m, equivalent to 45 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in another 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 135 nm, taking 38 and consuming 1,190 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 98.5 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 established the final approach to runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport from the north-west on a heading of 146.0° at 4 nm and 1,282 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. Local weather was 14 °C with wind 15 kt from 79°, giving a 14 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft passed the threshold height of 57 ft agl, which was slightly above target, while the threshold speed of 136 kt was recorded as good. The flare was executed in line with the expected parameters.

Touchdown occurred 194 m beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 kt, noted as a little fast, and the vertical rate was -195 fpm, judged good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the total landing distance measured 1,249 m, representing 45 % of the 2,759 m runway.

Rollout proceeded with runway alignment remaining perfect throughout the deceleration phase.

Given the high overall score, focus on refining the flare to achieve the exact target threshold height and moderating touchdown speed toward the target VREF to keep the touchdown point comfortably within the intended zone.
