Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 2,113 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,113 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 324 m 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 05R at HECA Cairo International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,464 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of HECA Cairo International Airport and climbing from an altitude of 1,476 feet above sea level to 36,095 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,619 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles northwest of Alexandria, Egypt, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 36,049 feet above sea level to 37,922 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,873 feet in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 72 miles north of HEAL El Alamein International Airport and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 286 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 26 miles south of LGSR Santorini Airport and descending from 37,455 feet above sea level to 1,525 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,930 feet in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03L at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 37.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots and a touchdown distance of 327 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -351 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,997 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 607 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,539 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 03L at the Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) with an impressive score of 98.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was commendable, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 145 knots. The touchdown distance of 327 meters was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 140 knots was well-controlled. The touchdown rate of -351 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 9 knots. These conditions did not pose any significant challenges to the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,997 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled deceleration.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 on runway 03L at LGAV was a textbook example of a well-executed landing, with the aircraft's performance and the crew's skills combining to produce a safe and efficient touchdown.
