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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,977 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 457 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an RJ85 aircraft, which began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, a process that took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 35L, with a takeoff distance of 1,052 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of -3°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 340°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Colombier-Saugnieu area, located near Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,771 feet above sea level to 21,484 feet, an increase of 19,713 feet, in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over the Saint-Jean-de-la-Porte area.
The aircraft then initiated another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 22,070 feet to 22,846 feet, an increase of 776 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed, lasting for 9 minutes and covering 59 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over the Champagny-en-Vanoise area.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, which started overhead the Poirino area, located in Italy. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 22,787 feet to 12,024 feet, a decrease of 10,763 feet, in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over the San Salvatore Monferrato area.
The aircraft then initiated another enroute descent, this time from an altitude of 11,458 feet to 5,983 feet, a decrease of 5,474 feet, in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over the Castello d'Agogna area.
The aircraft then began its final enroute descent, which started 1 mile north of the Mede area. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,613 feet to 4,984 feet, a decrease of 629 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over the Suardi area.
The aircraft then initiated another enroute descent, this time from an altitude of 4,521 feet to 3,986 feet, a decrease of 535 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over the Gambolo area.
The aircraft then began its final enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of the Bernate Ticino area. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,466 feet to 1,980 feet, a decrease of 1,486 feet, in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway
The aircraft, identified as an RJ85, successfully landed at Milan Malpensa International Airport (LIMC) on runway 35R. The final approach was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's approach and landing skills were exemplary, as evidenced by the aircraft's ability to touch down smoothly and within the designated parameters.
Upon landing, the aircraft's threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude prior to touchdown. The threshold speed of 117 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 458 meters was also satisfactory, as it was within the expected range for an aircraft of this size and type.
The touchdown speed of 105 knots was good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -116 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot applied gentle and controlled forces to the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions presented a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing, which the pilot took full advantage of.
The total landing distance of 969 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a stable and aligned manner. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe approach and landing.
