Landing on runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 91.43 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at EGGD Bristol Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 435 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -300 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.8 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was 19 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,648 meters was 88% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and a firm touchdown rate. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and misaligned touchdown position may be areas for improvement in future landings.
