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.
