The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,172 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 800 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 02 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,618 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead El Prat de Llobregat, a town in the region of Catalonia, Spain. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,040 feet above sea level to 32,498 feet, an increase of 31,458 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 50 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Olius, another town in Catalonia, Spain. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 88 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Saiguede, a town in the region of Occitanie, France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 32,254 feet to 1,386 feet, a decrease of 30,868 feet, in 28 minutes and covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 225.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,226 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 803 feet, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -106 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total landing distance was 3,285 feet.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 9 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 258 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes. The aircraft used 6,110 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,226 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a threshold speed of 133 knots being achieved, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 803 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was similarly good, and the rate of descent was smooth at -106 feet per minute (fpm), further demonstrating the pilots' expertise.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 7 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 3,285 feet was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had made effective use of the available runway length and had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots had maintained a steady and controlled descent throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport was a textbook example of safe and efficient flight operations. The pilots' skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing, and the aircraft's performance was impressive.
