The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of Winterhude, Germany, and ascended from an altitude of 1,075 feet above sea level to 37,103 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,027 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles west of De Kiel, Netherlands, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles northwest of Ter Heijde, Netherlands, and descended from 37,203 feet above sea level to 11,001 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,201 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time overhead Upstreet, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final enroute descent started 1 mile south of Faversham, England, and descended from 10,992 feet above sea level to 1,486 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,506 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport was made from the east, heading 258.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which was 2,495 meters long. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 396 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -462 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 200°, with a crosswind component of 8 knots and a headwind component of 5 knots.

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.
