Landing on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the DA40-NG

Landing Score 80.68 %

Landing Summary

A DA40-NG aircraft has successfully landed at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.7%. The final approach to runway 27L, located to the east of the field, was executed from a heading of 270.0° at an altitude of 1,467 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 149 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not entirely on the mark, still demonstrated a good measure of control and precision on the part of the pilot. Notably, the touchdown speed of 52 knots was well within the required standards, and the touchdown rate of -8 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

Another positive aspect of the landing performance was the runway touchdown alignment, which was reported to be perfect. The aircraft maintained a stable and aligned course even upon landing, minimizing the risk of veering off the runway. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was very good, with the pilot successfully guiding the aircraft along a safe and controlled path following touchdown.

The pre-landing conditions were also favorable, with the local weather featuring a relatively calm temperature of 15 °C, minimal wind at 1 kilometer per hour (kt) from 269°, and negligible crosswind and headwind. These benign weather conditions likely contributed to a more stable and predictable approach, making it easier for the pilot to execute the landing successfully.

However, it is worth noting that the threshold height at 96 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating a slightly elevated approach path. Additionally, the threshold speed was only slightly above the required standards at 77 kt. Overall, although the landing contained some minor deviations, the pilot demonstrated good control and adherence to the required standards, resulting in a passable score of 80.7%.
