Researchers from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) William J. Hughes Technical Center have been conducting a series of video landing parameter surveys at high-activity commercial airports to acquire a better understanding of typical landing contact conditions for a wide variety of aircraft and airports as they relate to current aircraft design criteria and practices. This is the sixth of a series of landing parameter surveys. This report documents the results from a survey at London Heathrow Airport (LHR) performed in July 2001. Previous surveys were conducted first at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in June 1994 and later at Washington National Airport (DCA) performed in June 1995. Additional surveys were performed at Honolulu International (HNL), April 1996, London City Airport in July 1997, and Philadelphia International Airport in July 1999. At LHR, six video cameras were temporarily installed along the north side of runway 27R. Video images of 495 wide-body and 468 narrow-body transports were captured and analyzed, and the results are presented herein. Landing parameters presented include sink rate; approach speed; touchdown pitch, roll, and yaw angles and rates; off-center distance; and the touchdown distance from the runway threshold. Wind and weather conditions were also recorded, and landing weights were available for most landings. Since this program is only concerned with overall statistical usage information, all data were processed and are presented without regard to the airline or flight number.
