The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 26R at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 26R, the aircraft used 1,754 m of runway, representing 82 % of the available length, and lifted off at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 317°, giving a 2 kt headwind and a 3 kt cross-wind component.

The climb began 1 mile south-west of Charlwood, Surrey, and the aircraft rose from 1,367 ft asl to 8,052 ft asl, an altitude gain of 6,685 ft achieved in 3 minutes while covering 15 nm.

Descent commenced overhead Purley, Greater London, with the airplane descending from 8,076 ft asl to 1,363 ft asl, a loss of 6,713 ft over 7 minutes and a distance of 28 nm.

For the final approach to runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, the flight approached from the east on a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,276 ft agl, under the same temperature of 15 °C and wind of 3 kt from 317°, providing a 2 kt headwind and a 2 kt cross-wind.

Landing was executed on runway 27R, which is 3,896 m long; the threshold height of 64 ft agl was above target, while the threshold speed of 137 kt was satisfactory. Touchdown occurred 150 m beyond the touchdown zone at 131 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 289 fpm; alignment on touchdown was perfect.

The runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,265 m, equal to 32 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout.

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

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

Landing Score 97.68 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 established the final approach to runway 27R at EGLL from the east, maintaining a heading of 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,276 ft agl while the local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 3 kt from 317°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

At threshold the aircraft was 64 ft agl, which was above the target height, and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 137 kt.

Touchdown occurred 150 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 131 kt, noted as a little fast, a vertical rate of -289 fpm described as fair, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,265 m, representing 32 % of the 3,896 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

To refine the already strong performance, aim to achieve the target threshold height and reduce touchdown speed to better match the intended target, which will help place the touchdown within the designated zone.
