Landing on runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport in the Airbus A321

Landing Score 93.38 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC) with a score of 93.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 231.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 134 knots, which was within the target range.

The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not significantly impact the landing. The threshold speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 244 meters was also good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.

However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -509 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach or a need for further refinement in the pilot's landing technique. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,097 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, with the pilot successfully managing the aircraft's speed, altitude, and alignment throughout the approach and landing phases.
