The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,150 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,514 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 15 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,974 feet, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 68°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 140°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Jaworowa in the Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. The climb took 24 minutes and covered 154 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,358 feet above sea level to 39,295 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,938 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile east of Prusice in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. This phase of the flight lasted 54 minutes and covered 388 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Thayngen, Bibern in the Kanton Schaffhausen, Switzerland. The descent took 22 minutes and covered 20 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 38,197 feet above sea level to 2,840 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,357 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at LSZH Zürich Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 276.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,430 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which has a length of 8,150 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 185°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots.
The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, and the touchdown distance was 1,520 feet, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 4,251 feet, which is 52% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 569 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 109 minutes. The aircraft used 10,122 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) on runway 28, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 276.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,430 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 132 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 1,520 feet was also within the expected parameters, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touchdown.
However, the touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilots could have managed a smoother touchdown. A more gradual descent would have resulted in a lower touchdown rate, which is generally considered safer. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 185°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 2 knots, and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 4,251 feet was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase and ensured a stable and aligned rollout. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good skills and judgment in conducting a safe and controlled approach and landing.
