Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,057 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,057 ft of the 8,843 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,240 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Westerland Sylt Airport (EDXW), the Airbus A319 began its journey with a smooth taxi to the runway, taking just 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. As it rolled down runway 14, the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 152 kt, clearing the ground at 5,149 ft, which represented 74% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 80 °F and a gentle headwind of 4 kt at 150 °.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Keitum, marking the beginning of its enroute climb phase. Over the next 15 minutes, the aircraft ascended from 1,007 ft to 30,009 ft, a vertical gain of 29,002 ft, while covering 89 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase, which lasted 12 minutes and spanned 82 nautical miles, the aircraft began its descent towards Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL). The descent phase, which started 1 mile north of Ladbergen, saw the aircraft drop from 30,007 ft to 1,403 ft, a decrease of 28,605 ft, in 18 minutes, covering 92 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Düsseldorf Airport, it aligned itself with runway 05R, heading 53.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,267 ft above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 125 kt, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 132 kt. However, the touchdown rate of -161 fpm was within acceptable limits. The total landing distance of 4,781 ft, which represented 54% of the runway's length, was well within the aircraft's capabilities. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes to cover 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 271 nautical miles was completed in 55 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 5,087 lbs of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 05R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 132 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 1,241 ft was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 125 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a moderate touchdown rate of -161 fpm.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway's centerline, showcasing the pilot's precision and control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 75 °F and a gentle wind of 5 kt at 148 °, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind component of 5 kt was effectively managed, and the aircraft was able to maintain a steady heading during the approach.
The total landing distance of 4,781 ft, which accounted for 54% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with high precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.9%. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's airspeed and descent rate, combined with the favorable weather conditions, contributed to a successful landing on runway 05R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport.
