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 9,559 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,173 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,851 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 66°F and winds of 6 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of the airport and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,173 feet above sea level to 35,328 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,155 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Erfurt, Germany, and lasted for 67 minutes, covering a distance of 562 nautical miles. The descent started 11 miles south of Agde, France, and saw the aircraft descend from 35,836 feet above sea level to 1,294 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,542 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was made from the southwest, heading 66.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,171 feet, which was 44% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 135 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -213 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 61°F and winds of 7 knots at 60°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 4,218 feet, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 821 nautical miles, taking 128 minutes, and the aircraft used 12,583 pounds of fuel.
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 06L was executed from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 66.0° and maintaining a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl), the aircraft demonstrated a high degree of situational awareness and control.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 142 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 1,171 feet was also within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 135 kt was also satisfactory, and the aircraft maintained a relatively low rate of descent, with a touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute (fpm) that was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a gentle headwind of 7 kt. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, which further contributed to the smooth landing. The runway length of 9,559 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to decelerate and come to a stop.
The total landing distance of 4,218 feet was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-matched, resulting in a safe and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a short distance. The favorable weather conditions and the pilot's expertise contributed to a safe and efficient landing.
