The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 26R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, a movement that required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 26R, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,693 m, representing 79 % of the available runway, and achieved liftoff at 154 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 5 kt from 243°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 5 kt.

The climb commenced overhead Charlwood (Surrey, England), with the flight ascending from 1,268 ft asl to 7,945 ft asl - an increase of 6,677 ft - in 4 minutes while covering 16 nm.

Level cruise began overhead Purley (Greater London, England) and was maintained for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 7 nm.

Descent started 1 mile north-west of Chislehurst (Greater London, England). The aircraft descended from 7,594 ft asl to 1,361 ft asl, a loss of 6,233 ft, over 6 minutes and a distance of 20 nm.

The final approach to runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was executed from the east, on a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,274 ft agl.

Landing on runway 27R, which is 3,896 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 61 ft agl above target and a threshold speed of 137 kt. Touchdown was recorded 136 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 306 fpm and perfect runway-alignment. Local conditions were temperature 15 °C, wind 5 kt from 243°, cross-wind 2 kt and head-wind 4 kt. The total landing distance measured 1,201 m, equivalent to 31 % of the runway.

Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, covering the 1,201 m landing distance without deviation.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 7 minutes, traversing 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 52 nm, required 26 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 734 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 97.9 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 established the final approach to runway 27R at London Heathrow from the east, tracking a heading of 270.0° at 4 NM and 1,274 ft agl. Local conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 243°, providing a 4 kt headwind and 2 kt cross-wind component, and the runway length was 3,896 m.

At the threshold the aircraft was 61 ft agl, which was above the target height, and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 137 kt.

Touchdown occurred 136 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 131 kt, noted as a little fast, and the aircraft settled at a firm rate of minus 306 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance measured 1,201 m, representing 31 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

To refine the already strong performance, reduce touchdown speed slightly to align more closely with the target VREF and aim to achieve the intended touchdown point near the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point, which will further optimise landing distance and touchdown quality.
