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 8,282 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 329 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG). The takeoff distance was 3,627 feet, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 53°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 49°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 14 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Ferney-Voltaire in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France, where the aircraft climbed from 2,394 feet above sea level to 38,878 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,484 feet in 22 minutes, covering 123 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 02 at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (LEBL) was made from the south, heading 19.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,252 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 02 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 330 feet, which was good. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, also good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 330°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,863 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 368 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 87 minutes. The aircraft used 7,407 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 02 from the south was executed with a heading of 19.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,252 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was marked by a high score of 99.5%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 121 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 123 kt. The touchdown distance of 330 ft was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown rate of -266 fpm was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have made some adjustments to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 52°F and a gentle wind of 8 kt from a direction of 330°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The runway length of 8,282 ft provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out, with the total landing distance of 1,863 ft accounting for only 22% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and aligned it with the centerline of the runway. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
