Landing on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in the Airbus A321
Landing Score 90.97 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a score of 91.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's approach to the runway was generally good, with a threshold speed of 134 knots, which met the target. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.

The touchdown distance of 396 meters was within the acceptable range, demonstrating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown rate of -462 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the rate of descent to achieve a softer touchdown.

One notable issue with the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 8.0 meters off the centerline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind conditions and pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions were likely to have had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance during the landing.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and touchdown rate, and improving the alignment of the runway touchdown position.
