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 9,559 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 372 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 28 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) and took off with a takeoff distance of 205 feet, which was 3% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Rumlang in the Kanton Zurich region of Switzerland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,447 feet above sea level to 34,820 feet, an increase of 32,372 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 3 miles east of the town of Granges in the Canton de Vaud region of Switzerland. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from an altitude of 35,250 feet to 35,842 feet, an increase of 592 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. This climb phase started 1 mile northeast of the town of Peney-le-Jorat in the Canton de Vaud region of Switzerland.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 251 nautical miles. This cruise phase started overhead the town of Preverenges in the Canton de Vaud region of Switzerland. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 48 miles northeast of the town of Cadaques in the Catalunya region of Spain. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 35,677 feet to 1,273 feet, a decrease of 34,404 feet, in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at Barcelona-El Prat Airport (LEBL) was made from the northeast, with a heading of 246.0° and at an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway with a touchdown distance of 380 feet, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 131 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots. The total landing distance was 3,371 feet, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 477 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,475 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 24R was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 246.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing were executed flawlessly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 380 feet, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly above the optimal range, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to make some adjustments to achieve a more ideal speed.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from 220°.
The crosswind component was relatively low at 7 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. The total landing distance of 3,371 feet was 35% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed landing, with the pilots demonstrating exceptional skill and attention to detail.
