This flight was operated by a Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a location 1 mile east of Eil in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 592 feet above sea level and climbed to 1,144 feet above sea level, a total increase of 552 feet, in less than 1 minute while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

As the aircraft approached the Cologne Bonn Airport, it began its final approach to runway 13L from the north-west, heading at an angle of 136.0 degrees at an altitude of 894 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 13L, which has a length of 3,807 meters, was executed with a threshold height that was above the target, and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 133 knots.

The touchdown point was located 575 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 126 knots and the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute were both considered good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 6 knots at an angle of 104 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 2,027 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway length. During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft took 38 minutes to taxi to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight used a total of -6 kilograms of fuel.

Takeoff on runway at in the Boeing 737-MAX8

Landing on runway 13L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport in the Boeing 737-MAX8

Landing Score 85.56 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport, with a score of 85.6%. The final approach to runway 13L was initiated from the north-west, heading 136.0° at 2 nautical miles and 894 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slight deviation from the target threshold height, with the threshold height at 66 ft agl being above the desired level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 126 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -160 fpm was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was located 575 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position. The aircraft was found to be 7.9 meters off-centerline from the runway's centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a relatively light wind of 6 kt at 104°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt. The total landing distance of 2,027 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, with the aircraft being 7.7 meters off-centerline from the runway's centerline.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some minor deviations from the desired parameters, including the threshold height, touchdown point, and runway rollout alignment. However, the aircraft's touchdown speed and rate were satisfactory, and the landing distance was within acceptable limits.
