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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,266 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 737-600 airliner took off from SAWC El Calafate - Commander Armando Tola International Airport, departing from runway 25. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took about 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. Liftoff speed was recorded at 149 knots. The aircraft had to contend with a relatively cold local weather temperature of 1°C, minimal winds that were both a 2-knot tailwind at a direction of 220° and the same headwind, and no significant crosswind.
The aircraft began its enroute climb after taking off, gaining altitude from 1,679 feet above sea level to an astonishing 39,353 feet above sea level, a significant increase of 37,674 feet over the course of 33 minutes and covering a distance of 246 nautical miles. Once it had achieved the desired cruising altitude, it entered level cruise status, but not for a long time, as it had to start its descent relatively quickly.
The first descent sequence began over 18 miles south of the Las Heras Airport and covered a distance of 1,029 nautical miles over the course of 110 minutes before the aircraft leveled out again. The descent started from 39,444 feet above sea level, decreasing to 2,688 feet above sea level in just 11 minutes and covering a distance of 245 nautical miles. Once the aircraft was back in level cruise status, it took off again, this time flying over the SSMK El Dorado Airport, staying in level cruise for just 2 minutes before descending once more.
This second and final descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,706 feet above sea level down to 1,290 feet above sea level over the course of just 2 minutes as it began its final approach to runway 11 at SBPA Salgado Filho International Airport. The final landing approach was from a distance of 4 nautical miles, bearing a heading of 91.0° with a clearance of 1,178 feet above ground level.
The aircraft smoothly landed on the runway after a descent from an altitude of 1,290 feet above sea level, touching down at 120 knots. All landing metrics were considered good by the pilots in command. The aircraft had a total landing distance of 767 meters, covering only 34% of the total runway length. Taxiing to the parking area immediately after touching down took only about 2 minutes, covering a very short distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Throughout the entire flight, a total distance of 1,538 nautical miles was covered. The flight lasted for a considerable 166 minutes and the aircraft used about 8,049 kilograms of fuel throughout its operations.
A Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at Salgado Filho International Airport, also known as SBPA. This achievement signifies the pilots' skill and expertise in maneuvering the aircraft during its final approach. The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 11, heading in a direction of 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) and an altitude of 1,178 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon completion of the final approach, the Boeing 737-600 touched down on the runway with perfect timing, utilizing the available runway length of 2,266 meters effectively. The pilots maintained a suitable threshold height, allowing for a smooth touchdown. The touchdown speed was optimal at 127 knots, resulting in a satisfactory touchdown distance of 324 meters.
During the landing process, the pilots skillfully managed the aircraft's deceleration rate, achieving a desirable touchdown rate of -132 feet per minute (fpm). This smooth deceleration rate ensured that the aircraft landed safely and without any issues. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was exceptional, signifying the pilots' precision in guiding the aircraft onto the runway.
The local weather conditions on the day of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 120°. This headwind proved beneficial for the aircraft, providing additional stability during the landing process. The pilots skillfully managed the crosswind of 1 knot and headwind of 3 knots, allowing the aircraft to maintain its alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance covered by the Boeing 737-600 was 767 meters, which represents only 34% of the available runway length. This demonstrates the pilots' exceptional piloting skills and control over the aircraft. Once the aircraft touched down, it maintained perfect runway rollout alignment, further emphasizing the pilots' expertise and precision in guiding the aircraft during the landing process.
