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 6,194 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,194 ft of the 12,777 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,590 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Barcelona, Spain. The takeoff distance was 4,895 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 83°F temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was also 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport and continued for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,016 feet above sea level to 32,918 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,902 feet.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 209 nautical miles. This phase started 74 miles east of Tamariu, Spain. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, which started overhead LFKG Aérodrome de Ghisonaccia - Alzitone in Corse, France. The descent from 32,925 feet above sea level to 1,306 feet above sea level took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 126 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was made from the north, heading 163.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 219 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also good at -176 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 82°F temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 5,923 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 467 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 83 minutes. The aircraft used 8,205 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport on runway 16L. The final approach was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 163.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a high level of precision throughout the approach, achieving a score of 99.8%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 127 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 138 knots. The touchdown point was 219 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was still considered a good result given the aircraft's speed and altitude at the time of touchdown. The touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot, which made the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful. The runway length of 12,777 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 5,923 feet was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot executed a precise and controlled approach, and the aircraft responded well to the controls. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight and level path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were both on display, and the result was a safe and successful landing.
