Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, operated by Orbit Airlines, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Bristol Airport (EGGD). This process took approximately 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27 at Bristol Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,123 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Wrington, North Somerset, England. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,485 feet above sea level to 4,169 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,684 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile west of Kingston Seymour, North Somerset, England. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 4 miles east of Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 4,025 feet above sea level to 25,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,973 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles west of Knighton, Sir Powys, Wales. This cruise phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 105 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 16 miles southeast of Douglas, Isle of Man. During this descent, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 25,860 feet above sea level to 2,504 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,357 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles east of Ballyclare, Antrim and Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25 at Belfast International Airport (EGAA), approaching from the northeast at a heading of 245.0 degrees, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,401 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 25 at EGAA was successful, with a touchdown distance of 387 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was also good at 123 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -317 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 190 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 889 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 262 nautical miles, taking 66 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,001 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Orbit Airlines aircraft successfully landed at EGAA Belfast International Airport on runway 25, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,401 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's final approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 128 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 387 meters was also within the expected parameters, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -317 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any issues.

However, there were a few minor deviations from the ideal landing procedure. The threshold height at 55 feet agl was slightly above the target, which may have required the pilots to make some adjustments to their approach. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may have required some additional control inputs from the pilots to maintain alignment.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were likely to have had a minimal impact on the aircraft's approach and landing.

Overall, the Orbit Airlines aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures, with a score of 98.1%. The pilots were able to maintain a stable and controlled descent, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. The minor deviations from the ideal landing procedure were likely due to the pilots' efforts to adapt to the slightly above-target threshold height and the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
