The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 33 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus H160, then departed from runway 25 at EGGW London Luton Airport. The takeoff distance was 69 meters, which is 3% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 14 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft took off and began its enroute level cruise, which started overhead EGGW London Luton Airport and lasted for 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The enroute climb began 1 mile north east of Luton and involved a significant increase in altitude, from 776 feet above sea level to 6,852 feet above sea level, a rise of 6,076 feet in 6 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed 1 mile east of Baldock, lasting for 4 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent from 6,841 feet above sea level to 1,331 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,510 feet in 10 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 12 nautical miles and started overhead EGSU Duxford Aerodrome. The final approach to runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport was made from the north east, heading 230 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 982 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport was notable for several factors. The threshold height was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 92 knots. The touchdown point was 391 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 47 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -273 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 230 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.

The total flight distance was 45 nautical miles, and the flight used a total of -392 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport in the Airbus H160

Landing Score 64.29 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus H160 aircraft has successfully landed at EGSS London Stansted Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 982 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was made with a significant crosswind component, but the wind conditions were relatively favorable, with a headwind of 16 knots and a crosswind of only 2 knots.

However, the landing was not executed perfectly, with the threshold height at 99 feet agl being significantly above the target height. This suggests that the aircraft may have been too high on final approach, which could have resulted in a longer than necessary landing roll. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 92 knots, which is above the recommended landing speed for the Airbus H160.

The touchdown point was 391 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly down the runway. The touchdown speed of 47 knots was a little fast, which could have resulted in a longer than necessary landing roll. The touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which could have resulted in a slightly longer than necessary landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 17 knots at 230°.

Overall, while the Airbus H160 aircraft was able to land safely at EGSS London Stansted Airport, the landing was not without its challenges. The aircraft's approach was made with a significant crosswind component, and the landing was executed with a slightly high threshold height and speed, resulting in a slightly longer than necessary landing roll. However, the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown, and the landing was ultimately successful.
