The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,580 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 358 m 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 22L at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,059 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 179 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. After departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Saint-Laurent-du-Var, France. The climb took 35 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,009 feet above sea level to 37,981 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 209 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Lods, France. This phase lasted for 61 minutes and covered a distance of 348 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Canewdon, England. The descent took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,156 feet above sea level to 1,548 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at East Midlands Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 86.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 360 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was -190 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at East Midlands Airport were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 853 meters, and the total flight distance was 673 nautical miles, taking a total of 114 minutes. The aircraft used 5,386 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at East Midlands Airport (EGNX) on runway 09, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 86.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and speed of 137 knots. The touchdown distance of 360 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was well within the recommended range, and the touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach.
The total landing distance of 853 meters was only 33% of the runway length, indicating a short and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700's landing at East Midlands Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a short distance. The high score of 99.8% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance capabilities.
