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 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,952 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,286 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 02 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,417 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 303°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead El Prat de Llobregat in Catalonia, Spain, and ascended from an altitude of 1,724 feet above sea level to 37,768 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,044 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Lacourt in Occitanie, France, and lasted for 74 minutes, covering a distance of 531 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 5 miles south west of Hugh Town in the Isles of Scilly, England, and descended from 37,787 feet above sea level to 1,749 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,037 feet, in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 142 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at EICK Cork Airport was made from the south, heading 339.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,292 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was -217 feet per minute, which was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 3,868 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 810 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 134 minutes. The aircraft used 11,310 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 34 was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 339.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 128 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 133 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,292 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -217 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a slightly more stable rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which was effectively managed by the pilot. The runway length of 6,952 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 3,868 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 99.8%.
