The flight in question involved an Airbus A320 departing from Brussels Airport. After taxiing from the parking area to the runway for approximately 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles, the aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 25R. During takeoff, the aircraft lifted off at a liftoff speed of 156 knots, covering a distance of 1,587 meters or 52% of the runway length.
Once airborne, the weather conditions played a significant role in the aircraft's performance. With a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 240 degrees, the aircraft continued on its north-westerly course, climbing from an initial altitude of 1,135 feet to 31,078 feet over a period of 16 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 98 nautical miles.
During the enroute cruise, the aircraft leveled off at 31,078 feet and flew for 7 minutes, covering 54 nautical miles. The next phase of the flight involved a gradual descent from 31,054 feet to 2,775 feet over a period of 23 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 103 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 14 at Zürich Airport, local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 3 knots at 320 degrees. The aircraft touched down 549 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 127 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -133 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centroline by 4.4 meters.
The aircraft's total landing distance covered 2,135 meters, representing 68% of the runway length. Post-landing, the runway rollout alignment was deemed very good, and the aircraft was taxiing to the parking area within 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. Throughout the flight, the aircraft consumed 2,221 kilograms of fuel, covering a total distance of 263 nautical miles over a period of 54 minutes.

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport, showcasing a professional and well-executed flight maneuver. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 137.0 ° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,356 feet above ground level. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, the pilot achieved a smooth touchdown speed of 127 knots, indicating a proficient use of flight controls and adherence to safe landing protocols.
One notable aspect of this landing was the slight deviation from the intended touchdown speed, which was reported at 141 knots, just above the target speed. However, the pilots managed to adjust their descent and bring the aircraft down at a more suitable speed. The touchdown point was 549 meters beyond the touchdown zone, exceeding the ideal landing spot but still demonstrating control over the aircraft's final approach.
Weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively favorable, with a temperature of 19 °C and a gentle wind at 3 knots from a direction of 320 °. As a result, the crosswind component was effectively zero, minimizing potential challenges for the pilot. The slight tailwind of 3 knots had a minimal impact on the landing, given its low magnitude.
The aircraft's performance during rollout was also notable, with a runway touchdown position that was only 4.4 meters off the centerline. This alignment demonstrates the pilot's skill in navigating the aircraft onto the runway. Furthermore, the rollout alignment was rated as "very good," indicating precise control over the aircraft's movement after touchdown.
Notably, the total landing distance covered by the Airbus A320 was 2,135 meters, accounting for about 68% of the runway's length. This distance is relatively modest given the aircraft's capabilities, which suggests a proficient and controlled approach throughout. Overall, this landing represents a solid example of professional piloting and attention to safe practices in aviation.
