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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,022 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,022 ft of the 12,777 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,207 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 20 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Barcelona, Spain. The takeoff distance was 4,097 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 89 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to a cruising altitude of 37,057 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 89 nautical miles and took 19 minutes, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 36,014 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 272 nautical miles. This phase took place 59 miles north of Ferreries, Spain. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 23 miles northeast of Golfo Aranci, Italy. The descent took the aircraft down from a cruising altitude of 36,719 feet to a lower altitude of 1,269 feet, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles in the process. This phase took 33 minutes.
The final approach to runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 163.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,251 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 12,777 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,208 feet, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -230 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,769 feet, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began its taxiing period from the runway to the parking, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 477 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 108 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9,398 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 1,251 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, achieving a score of 99.7% for the landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 131 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 137 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,208 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -230 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent to reduce the impact on the aircraft.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a gentle wind of 5 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively smooth landing, with the aircraft maintaining a good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 5,769 feet was 45% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more gradual descent to reduce the touchdown rate.
