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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 316 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 28 at LPFR Faro Airport in Portugal. The takeoff distance was 939 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 300 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of LPFR Faro Airport. The climb took 34 minutes and covered a distance of 194 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,019 feet above sea level to 39,169 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,149 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles southwest of Anca, Portugal, and lasted for 125 minutes, covering a distance of 881 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent, beginning 8 miles east of Whitehead, Northern Ireland. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 175 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,217 feet above sea level to 1,328 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,889 feet. The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the northeast, heading 229.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 318 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 125 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -185 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 a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 101 degrees.
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 1,258 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 193 minutes. The aircraft used 7,918 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 229.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 23 was executed with a high degree of precision, with the aircraft maintaining a good threshold height and speed. The threshold speed of 129 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to manage its speed effectively.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was again impressive, with a touchdown distance of 318 meters being well within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may indicate that the pilot could have applied a bit more braking or reverse thrust to slow the aircraft down more quickly.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's descent rate and was able to control it effectively. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's position and was able to align it with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and winds of 4 knots at 101°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was even smaller, at 2 knots. These conditions made the landing even more challenging, but the pilot was able to handle them with ease.
The total landing distance of 808 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to slow the aircraft down quickly and efficiently, and was able to bring it to a stop in a relatively short distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's position and was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline even after touchdown. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and demonstrated a high level of proficiency in approach and landing procedures.
