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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 405 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight took off from Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne Airport (LFLC) in a RJ85 aircraft. The aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 26. It required a takeoff distance of 1,129 meters or 40% of the runway. With a liftoff speed of 137 knots, the aircraft successfully departed the ground.
At the time of departure, the local weather conditions at the airport were calm, with a temperature of 9°C and no wind. The enroute climb started shortly after, as the aircraft gained altitude from 2,138 feet to 29,253 feet, which is an increase of 27,116 feet. This significant climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Attignat-Oncin, an area in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. However, this cruise period was brief, lasting only 5 minutes. Even though it was short, the aircraft managed to cover 38 nautical miles during this cruise.
After completing the cruise, the aircraft entered the enroute descent phase. This began three miles southeast of Valmeinier. The aircraft descended from a height of 29,232 feet to 1,625 feet, a decrease of 27,606 feet. This descent took 27 minutes and covered 117 nautical miles.
The descent was followed by a final approach to runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport (LIML). The aircraft approached the airport from the south, heading in the direction of 356.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet.
The landing was executed successfully, with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 106 knots and at a rate of -136 feet per minute, which was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment and the subsequent rollout alignment were both perfect.
At the time of landing, the local weather conditions at Milano Linate Airport were also calm, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot. The aircraft landed on a 2,447-meter runway and required a total landing distance of 902 meters.
Following the landing, taxiing to the parking took only 3 minutes, and the aircraft covered less than 1 nautical mile. This efficient flight utilized 1,959 kilograms of fuel and accumulated a total flight distance of 275 nautical miles, the flight took a total of 63 minutes.
The RJ85 aircraft successfully executed a precise landing on Runway 36 at LIML Milano Linate Airport. The pilots maintained a heading of 356.0° while descending from 4 nautical miles away from the airport, at an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (AGL). This shows excellent approach control and adherence to instrument flight rules.
Upon reaching the threshold of the runway, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 116 knots, which is well within the established threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 406 meters was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 106 knots was smooth. The steepness of the descent, reflected in the -136 feet per minute rate, demonstrates exceptional control and precision piloting.
In terms of performance, the pilots were able to utilize the strong headwind conditions to minimize the landing ground roll. However, since the crosswind component was negligible (only 1 kt), the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. This showcases the RJ85's stability and responsiveness during the critical phases of landing, particularly in the critical roll phase.
The runway length available at LIML Milano Linate Airport (2,447 meters) allowed the aircraft to remain on the designed rollout path with minimal overrun. The pilots' adherence to strict control of the aircraft's deceleration and directional control allowed for perfect alignment of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Under the given weather conditions, with temperatures at 10 °C and a relatively strong crosswind from the south-west at 243°, the landing was performed with exceptional skill. Given the small wind component the pilots took the wind in favor which helped with ground roll.
