Departing from London Gatwick Airport, the Airbus A321 began its takeoff roll on runway 08R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 154 kt. The aircraft cleared the runway threshold in 1,401 meters, utilizing 56% of the available length. As it lifted off, the crew encountered a local temperature of 13 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, with a crosswind component of 5 kt.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 1,230 feet above sea level to 26,047 feet, a vertical gain of 24,817 feet in just 4 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 83 nautical miles, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Subsequently, the enroute descent phase commenced overhead Olney, with the aircraft descending from 25,996 feet to 1,420 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.

Upon approaching Liverpool John Lennon Airport, the crew initiated the final approach to runway 09 from the west, aligning the aircraft with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,336 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 146 kt, which was above the target value. The touchdown point was 141 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 kt and a rate of descent of -202 feet per minute. The aircraft utilized 64% of the available runway length, with a total landing distance of 1,419 meters. Following the landing, the crew taxied the aircraft to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 221 nautical miles, with a fuel consumption of 8,885 kilograms and a flight duration of 27 minutes.

Landing Score 93.91 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 09 at EGGP Liverpool John Lennon Airport, a 2,224-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the west. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 146 knots, which may have been a result of the 11-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind. The aircraft was flying at 1,336 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the runway, heading 85.0 degrees.

The touchdown characteristics were notable, with a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly above the desired rate. The touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, being 9.2 meters off-centre. This misalignment was also observed during the rollout phase, where the aircraft was 9.1 meters off-centreline. The total landing distance of 1,419 meters was 64% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.

The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.9%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind of 11 knots at 160 degrees, may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed and the misaligned touchdown and rollout. Nevertheless, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
