The flight began with a departure roll on runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, accelerated to a liftoff speed of 146 kt in just a short distance of 225 m, which is 6% of the runway. The departure from the airport took place in a relatively calm local weather, with a temperature of 20 °C, a minor headwind of 6 kt, and a negligible crosswind of 1 kt.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it transitioned into a level cruise. Initially, the climb started at Sandweiler, and over the course of 4 minutes, it rose from 2,279 ft asl to 6,113 ft asl, an increase of 3,834 ft, and covered 9 nm. This was followed by a brief cruise period, which lasted 7 minutes and spanned 11 nm, as the aircraft flew south east of Christnach. The enroute descent then initiated at Kopstal, and over the course of 5 minutes, the aircraft descended 3,144 ft from an altitude of 6,119 ft asl to 2,975 ft asl, covering a short distance of 5 nm.

Following the descent, the aircraft entered another short level cruise period, which lasted 3 minutes and covered less than a mile. The final approach to the airport began south west of ELLX, at an altitude of 1,239 ft agl. With a crosswind of 6 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt, the aircraft successfully landed on runway 06, which has a length of 3,989 m. Despite a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position by 6.1 m, the touchdown distance of 452 m and the touchdown speed of 136 kt were within acceptable limits.

The aircraft used a total fuel of 760 kg and covered a distance of 28 nm, concluding with a smooth landing. Throughout the flight, the local weather conditions varied slightly, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 19 °C, and wind speeds varying between 6 kt and 9 kt at different directions.

Landing Summary

Aircraft Identification and Approach Parameters The Boeing 737-800, a well-established commercial airliner, landed on runway 06 at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (ELLX). The approach to the runway was made from the southwest, aligning with a heading of 56.0 °, approximately 3 nautical miles away and 1,239 feet above ground level (agl) when initiating the procedure.

Airport and Weather Conditions The aircraft executed the landing on runway 06, which is 3,989 meters in length. The local weather conditions were relatively mild, with a temperature of 19 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 6 knots from a direction of 310°. Additionally, there were minimal crosswind and tailwind components, being 6 and 2 knots, respectively.

Landing Performance The threshold height at 74 feet agl was significantly above the target, implying a relatively stable approach profile. In contrast, the threshold speed was above the target at 138 knots, denoting a somewhat aggressive approach rate. Following the touchdown, the aircraft showed a reasonable touchdown distance of 452 meters, however, it touched down at a speed of 136 knots, which was on the fast end of the spectrum. Notably, the touchdown rate was perfectly executed at 19 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a well-controlled descent.

Runway Alignment and Performance Metrics There was an issue with the runway touchdown position, as the aircraft landed 6.1 meters off-center from the runway's centerline. This slight deviation highlights an area for improvement in terms of alignment and navigation. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the touchdown was satisfactory, and there were no reported incidents or issues related to the landing.

In conclusion, while there were some minor deviations in terms of threshold height and touchdown speed, the aircraft demonstrated a high level of control and landing precision at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport. A score of 86.1% is indicative of a satisfactory landing performance, with room for further improvement in the areas of alignment and navigation.
