What went well

Threshold crossed at 53 ft and 136 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.46 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 93 %

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 614 m at 83 %, Touchdown rate was -206 fpm at 90 %, −0.31 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 93 %, −0.12 points

Next time

Arrival

Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.

What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 614 m past the threshold, 157 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 entered the final approach to runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow from the east on a heading of 270.0 °, 4 nm out and 1,284 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At threshold the runway length was 3,889 m and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was good at 137 kt.

Touchdown occurred 232 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 131 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate of minus 194 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance was 1,372 m, representing 35 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

To refine the already high score, a slight reduction in touchdown speed would bring the aircraft closer to the optimal target, and a marginally later flare could help place the touchdown nearer the aim point of about 300 m down the runway.
