The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 27 at London City Airport (EGLC). The takeoff distance was 484 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 88 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of London City Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile east of Canary Wharf, Greater London, England, and the aircraft climbed from 1,035 feet above sea level to 3,650 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,615 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The enroute descent began overhead Battersea, Greater London, England, and the aircraft descended from 3,669 feet above sea level to 1,200 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,469 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

Landing on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Cessna 208B

Landing Score 73.8 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 269.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,117 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway.

The threshold height at 79 feet agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 80 knots, which could have contributed to the long touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 67 knots was also a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute (fpm) was fair but not ideal.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a light wind of 4 knots at 220°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which was relatively minimal. However, despite the favorable weather, the aircraft's landing performance was not optimal.

The total landing distance of 2,952 meters was 82% of the available runway, indicating that the aircraft had a significant amount of runway remaining after touchdown. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.3 meters from the centreline, which could have posed a challenge for the pilots during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, the landing performance was not ideal, and there were several areas for improvement. The pilots may have benefited from a more precise approach, a slower touchdown speed, and a more accurate rollout alignment to achieve a better landing performance.
