Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks at 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 8,900 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,712 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cologne Bonn Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 31R, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 71 °F and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 20 °. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 172 kt, utilizing 61% of the available runway length of 7,569 ft.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,193 ft above sea level, gradually increasing to 35,008 ft in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 161 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started over Rothenburg ob der Tauber, lasting 121 minutes and covering 992 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 35,023 ft to 1,483 ft in 19 minutes, covering 105 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 274.0 ° at 4 nautical miles and 1,379 ft above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 143 kt. The touchdown point was 336 ft beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 kt. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -22 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 ft from the centerline. The total landing distance was 4,103 ft, utilizing 46% of the available runway length of 8,900 ft. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,267 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 179 minutes and a fuel consumption of 15,282 lbs.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at LGIR Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport with a threshold speed of 143 kt, slightly above the target. The touchdown point was 336 ft beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -22 fpm was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
The aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline during the rollout phase was perfect, with no deviation observed. The total landing distance of 4,103 ft was 46% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent from 1,379 ft agl at 4 nm from the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 68 °F and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth and predictable approach.
Overall, the landing was scored 99.0%, reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilot. The slight over-run and fast touchdown speed were minor deviations from the ideal, but the perfect touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment more than compensated for these minor errors. The landing was a credit to the pilot's skill and experience, and a testament to the aircraft's handling characteristics.
