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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,032 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,032 m of the 3,241 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 350 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Vienna International Airport (LOWW), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 29, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 2,107 meters, which equated to 60% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 120°, resulting in a tailwind component of 16 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from LOWW, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,337 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 23,008 feet, an increase of 21,671 feet in just 12 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 2 miles southeast of Zalalovo, Hungary, and lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered an additional 27 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began overhead Donji Kraljevec, Croatia, and saw the aircraft descend from 23,011 feet to 1,699 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,313 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport (LDZA), it began its final approach to runway 04 from the southwest, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 47.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 140 knots, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 139 knots, slightly above the ideal speed. The touchdown distance was 350 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 196 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,836 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 43 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 04 at LDZA Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 140 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 350 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, the touchdown speed of 139 kt was slightly above the ideal range, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -428 fpm. This may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed to ensure a stable approach, but it highlights the need for further refinement in terms of touchdown speed management. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway, indicating excellent control and precision.
The rollout phase was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft remaining on the centerline throughout. The total landing distance of 1,955 m, which accounted for 60% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 95.8%. The good approach quality, combined with the perfect runway touchdown alignment and satisfactory rollout, contributed to this high score.
