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 9,768 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 692 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 03R at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV). The takeoff distance was 1,671 feet, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 76 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 29 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of Artemida, Attica, Greece, and involved a significant ascent from 1,312 feet above sea level to 35,780 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,468 feet in just 20 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 118 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Lakkopetra, Western Greece. This phase lasted for 94 minutes and covered a distance of 639 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 16 miles southwest of Riomaggiore, Liguria, Italy, and involved a steep descent from 36,299 feet above sea level to 2,090 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,210 feet in 26 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC) was made from the north, heading 169.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,354 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a touchdown rate of -139 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot at a direction of 198 degrees.
The total landing distance was 3,477 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 881 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 155 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,916 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 17L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 169.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,354 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft touched down smoothly, with a threshold speed of 131 knots, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 693 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also within the recommended limits, further emphasizing the pilots' expertise.
The landing rate was particularly noteworthy, with a smooth descent of -139 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilots had maintained a stable and controlled approach, minimizing the risk of any potential issues during the landing phase. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to accurately navigate the aircraft onto the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 198°. This minimal wind had a negligible impact on the aircraft's approach and landing, allowing the pilots to focus on executing a precise and controlled touchdown.
The total landing distance of 3,477 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent, minimizing the time spent on the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. The successful execution of the landing phase, from final approach to touchdown and rollout, was a credit to the crew's professionalism and attention to detail.
