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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,865 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 573 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 06R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Barcelona, Spain. The takeoff distance was 5,220 feet, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 340°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport and continued for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,013 feet above sea level to 32,790 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,777 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 63 miles east of Begur, Spain, and lasted for 32 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 289 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles southwest of Ramiseto, Italy. The descent from 32,478 feet above sea level to 9,497 feet above sea level took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Cavarzere, Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Gavello, Italy. The descent from 9,099 feet above sea level to 1,297 feet above sea level took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport was made from the southwest, heading 42.0° at an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 10,865 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 138 knots. The touchdown distance was 573 feet, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots. The touchdown rate was -194 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 4,373 feet, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 535 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 92 minutes. The aircraft used 10,055 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 04R was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 42.0° and maintaining a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl), the pilots expertly guided the aircraft towards a smooth touchdown.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a speed of 134 knots, which is well within the recommended range for a safe landing. The touchdown rate of -194 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 4,373 feet was 40% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport was a textbook example of safe and efficient flight operations. The pilots' expertise and adherence to standard procedures ensured a smooth and controlled touchdown, minimizing the risk of any potential hazards.
