The flight began with the departure roll from runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport, with the Airbus A321 taking off after a distance of 963 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 55 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 12 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,109 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,133 ft asl, an increase of 1,024 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb continued with several enroute level cruises and descents, with the aircraft reaching altitudes of up to 2,599 ft asl and descending to as low as 405 ft asl. The aircraft covered a total distance of 22 nautical miles during the flight.

The final approach to runway 09L at London Heathrow Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 92.0 degrees at an altitude of 327 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 111 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -349 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 1,250 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft took 8 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 88.29 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 88.3%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 92.0° at 1 nautical mile and 327 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 121 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 111 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -349 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to a slightly uneven rollout.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 46°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,250 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also found to be misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance, including the slightly misaligned touchdown and rollout positions. However, the aircraft's speed and touchdown rate were well within acceptable limits, and the pilot's control of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory.
