The flight in question was operated by a British Airways RJ100 aircraft, which took off from an undisclosed location and began its enroute climb from 27,529 feet above sea level (asl) over Cheseaux in Switzerland. The aircraft successfully climbed to 30,069 feet asl in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to reach its initial cruise altitude efficiently.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered its first enroute level cruise, which started approximately 1 mile north of Vesancy in France. This cruise phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a significant distance of 181 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 30,104 feet asl to 20,316 feet asl over Peyrat-le-Chateau in France, reducing its altitude by 9,788 feet in just 4 minutes while covering 27 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile east of Saint-Priest-sous-Aixe in France. This brief cruise phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered 39 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent from 20,329 feet asl to 1,968 feet asl over Champagne in France, reducing its altitude by 18,360 feet in 16 minutes while covering 60 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, it began its final approach to runway 11 from the west, heading 107.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,787 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed successfully on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 158 meters and a touchdown speed of 120 knots. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard at -575 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 130°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft's total landing distance was 1,067 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 2 minutes, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 335 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1,947 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 11 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport in the Just Flight RJ100 British Airways Colum

Landing Score 92.65 %

Landing Summary

The British Airways RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, achieving a score of 92.7%. The final approach to runway 11 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 107.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,787 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 123 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 158 meters, and the touchdown speed of 120 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, coming in at -575 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.

Despite the hard touchdown rate, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 130°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,067 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, but there may be some room for improvement in terms of reducing the touchdown rate and maintaining a more precise alignment with the runway centerline.
