The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,187 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 936 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,657 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and reaching an altitude of 31,167 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 73 nautical miles, took 15 minutes and involved an increase in altitude of 30,145 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles west of LESU Pirineus - la Seu d'Urgel Airport. This phase lasted for 65 minutes and covered a distance of 474 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 21 miles north of Cosqueville, France. This descent, which covered a distance of 85 nautical miles, took 19 minutes and involved a decrease in altitude of 30,183 feet.
The final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 257.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 127 knots. The touchdown distance was 925 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 640 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 112 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,898 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 257.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 131 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 925 feet, which was within the expected range. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was also good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.
Despite this minor issue, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve control during the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,057 feet was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
