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 10,617 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 645 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 31 at Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (LEMG). The takeoff distance was 529 feet, which accounted for 5% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 70°F, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 280°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Málaga Airport, rising from 1,100 feet above sea level to 40,637 feet above sea level, an increase of 39,536 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 148 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began overhead La Solana, lasting 56 minutes and covering 608 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Burdignin, France, where the aircraft descended from 39,487 feet above sea level to 2,685 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,801 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) was made from the southeast, heading 335.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 at Zürich Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 650 feet, which was 29% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 876 nautical miles, taking 110 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,204 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) on runway 34, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 335.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's descent and approach were characterized by a high degree of precision, with a threshold height that was deemed satisfactory. The threshold speed of 125 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's airspeed during the approach. Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 120 knots, which is a good indication of a controlled and smooth landing.
The touchdown distance of 650 feet was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots had maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 99°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 3,100 feet was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent during the approach. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) was a textbook example of a well-executed and controlled landing, with the pilots demonstrating exceptional skills and adherence to standard operating procedures.
