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 8,150 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,248 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 10 at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,177 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 11 knots at 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to a height of 36,747 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 161 nautical miles, took 22 minutes and involved an increase of 35,671 feet in altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 67 minutes and covered a distance of 494 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 16 miles south west of Llucmajor, Spain. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles west of Wattenwil, Switzerland. This descent took the aircraft down from a height of 36,196 feet to 2,893 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,303 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at LSZH Zürich Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 276.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,479 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 8,150 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 137 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,251 feet, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 54 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 16 knots at 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 3,572 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 728 nautical miles and took 121 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 11,521 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) on runway 28, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 276.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,479 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 1,251 feet was also considered good, indicating that the pilots managed to slow down the aircraft effectively before touchdown. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilots' skill in executing a smooth landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilots could have managed a smoother descent to reduce the impact on the aircraft's landing gear. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was also 11 knots, resulting in a relatively calm wind environment. The total landing distance of 3,572 feet was 44% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a stable and aligned departure from the runway. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilots demonstrating good skills and judgment in executing a safe and efficient landing at Zürich Airport.
