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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,178 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,178 m of the 3,148 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 359 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it rolled down runway 33, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 140 knots, clearing the ground after a takeoff distance of 774 meters, which represented 24% of the runway's length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Langenhorn. Over the course of 21 minutes, the aircraft ascended from 1,010 feet above sea level to 30,412 feet, a vertical increase of 29,402 feet. This climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began 2 miles southeast of Schieder-Schwalenberg and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 162 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles west of Eppingen, and descended from 30,997 feet to 6,378 feet over a distance of 115 nautical miles. This descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted 9 minutes and covered 27 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile southwest of Uhlingen-Birkendorf and ended with the aircraft touching down on runway 14 at Zürich Airport.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance, with the aircraft coming to rest after a total landing distance of 2,105 meters, which represented 67% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 451 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,073 kilograms of fuel over the course of the 91-minute flight.
The aircraft, an RJ85, successfully executed a final approach to runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport from the north west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 124 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it achieved a touchdown distance of 361 meters, which was within the expected parameters, and a touchdown speed of 117 knots, also within the acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown rate of -215 feet per minute was slightly below the optimal range, indicating a slightly longer deceleration phase. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 353°, contributed to a minimal crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing even more challenging. The total landing distance of 2,105 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment throughout. The pilot's skill and control were evident in the smooth and controlled deceleration, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop within the designated runway length. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 99.7%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and skill demonstrated by the pilot.
