Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft drifted 10 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3.7° of bank in the first climb segment and 2.5° still showing in the second.

Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

What happened: The flare began late at 6 ft, 5.2 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH), where the Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,197 meters, which is 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Newbridge, a city in Scotland. The climb took 17 minutes to reach a height of 33,493 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,346 feet from the initial altitude of 1,147 feet. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 82 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 5 miles south west of Braithwaite in Cumbria, England, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 3 miles south west of Nantwich in Cheshire East, England, and descended from 33,243 feet to 4,310 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,933 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 151 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile west of Bolney in West Sussex, England, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The descent from this cruise started 1 mile south west of Crowborough in East Sussex, England, and descended from 3,690 feet to 2,113 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,578 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final enroute level cruise started 2 miles south west of Penshurst in Kent, England, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport (EGKK), heading 258.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 26L was successful, with the threshold height being well above the target and the threshold speed being good at 141 knots. However, the touchdown point was 227 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -483 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.4 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 178 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,266 meters, which is 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centreline.

The total flight distance was 361 nautical miles, taking 68 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,676 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 227 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.

The touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -483 feet per minute (fpm). The threshold height at 77 feet agl was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been higher than expected during the final approach. However, the threshold speed of 141 knots was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a suitable speed during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 178°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, but the pilot may have needed to adjust for the crosswind during the approach.

The total landing distance of 1,266 meters was 51% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may not have been perfectly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and improving the alignment of the aircraft with the runway during the rollout phase.
