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 8,839 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 582 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport). The takeoff distance was 3,422 feet, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 330°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Camarate, a location in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The climb started from an altitude of 1,382 feet above sea level and continued to an altitude of 38,305 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,923 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles west of LPSQ Dragoa Airstrip Sabugal, a location in the Distrito da Guarda, Portugal. This phase of the flight lasted 49 minutes and covered a distance of 345 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 82 miles southwest of Saint-Denis-d'Oleron, a location in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The descent started from an altitude of 38,186 feet above sea level and continued to an altitude of 1,373 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,812 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at LFRS Nantes Atlantique Airport was made from the southwest, heading 28.0° at an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 03, which had a length of 8,839 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 582 feet, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 45°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 3,219 feet, which was 36% of the runway length.
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 606 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 111 minutes. The aircraft used 9,869 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFRS Nantes Atlantique Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 28.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evidenced by the aircraft's ability to maintain a good threshold height and speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold speed of 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 582 feet was also within the expected parameters, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to achieve a smoother touchdown with more precise control.
Despite the slightly higher than ideal touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 45°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 3 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,219 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent during the approach, allowing for a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. The high level of precision and control demonstrated during the approach and landing phases is a credit to the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft safely and efficiently.
