Landing on runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 82.35 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving an overall score of 82.3%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 242.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 585 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height of 71 feet agl, which was well above the target. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude during the approach and landing phases. The threshold speed was also good, at 137 knots, which suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach speed.

The touchdown point was located 642 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which indicates that the pilot may have been slightly too far back on the runway. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -50 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment with the runway during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and winds of 17 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they were still able to achieve a good landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of alignment with the runway centerline.
