Landing on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 90.15 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, but there were some notable deviations from the target parameters.

The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the final approach. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 150 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was descending at a relatively high rate. This may have contributed to the slightly high touchdown height.

The touchdown point was 252 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 144 knots was also fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent during the final approach. The touchdown rate of -235 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or headwind conditions. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 260°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.

The total landing distance was 1,825 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not uncommon for aircraft to experience longer landing distances due to various factors such as wind conditions and aircraft performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and aligned path after touchdown.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some notable deviations from the target parameters. The aircraft's high touchdown speed and slightly high touchdown height may have been due to the high rate of descent during the final approach. However, the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and aligned path after touchdown, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
