The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK). The aircraft, an Airbus A321, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 148 kt, covering a distance of 844 m, which was 34% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 13 °C, with a wind speed of 16 kt blowing from 209°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 kt and a headwind of 11 kt.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Charlwood in Surrey, England. The aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,518 ft above sea level (asl) to 3,537 ft asl, an increase of 2,018 ft, in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm. The climb was followed by a series of enroute descents and level cruises, with the aircraft descending from 3,415 ft asl to 2,731 ft asl, a decrease of 684 ft, in 2 minutes, covering 7 nm. The aircraft then leveled off at 2,436 ft asl for a short period before descending again from 2,436 ft asl to 1,559 ft asl, a decrease of 877 ft, in 2 minutes, covering 3 nm.

The final approach to runway 26L at EGKK was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 258.0° at 4 nm and 1,355 ft above ground level (agl). However, the aircraft was required to execute a go-around at 20 ft agl due to an unknown reason. The aircraft then made a second approach to the runway, landing successfully at a speed of 117 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was good at 353 m, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 °C, with a wind speed of 8 kt blowing from 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 6 kt. The total landing distance was 1,509 m, which was 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.

The total flight distance was 35 nm, and the flight duration was 35 minutes. The aircraft used 475 kg of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 96.05 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach to the runway was initiated from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,355 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 125 knots. This minor deviation from the target speed did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 353 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 117 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking to slow down the aircraft.

The touchdown rate of -278 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was not slowed down as quickly as desired. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 210°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 6 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing performance.

The total landing distance of 1,509 meters was 60% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.3%. However, there were some minor deviations from the target performance, including a slightly above-target threshold speed and a touchdown speed that was a little fast.
