Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,893 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 646 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg took 11 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then began its departure roll on runway 15, utilizing 70% of the 1,940-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 159 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28 °C, with a negligible wind of 1 knot from 216°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it first ascended from 1,942 feet above sea level to 4,165 feet, an increase of 2,223 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering another 7 nautical miles, before the aircraft began another climb phase, this time from 4,340 feet to 5,462 feet, an increase of 1,122 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft then commenced its descent from 5,471 feet to 3,163 feet, a decrease of 2,309 feet in 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The final cruise phase took place 2 miles east of Baldersheim, lasting 5 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles.
The Airbus A320 then began its final approach to runway 15 at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg, arriving from the northwest at a heading of 155.0° and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on the 2,783-meter runway, with a touchdown point 229 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed, and the touchdown rate was firm at -352 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters. The total flight distance was 58 nautical miles, taking 24 minutes to complete, and the aircraft consumed 802 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 15 at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg from the north west was executed with a heading of 155.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. The threshold speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-controlled descent.
As the aircraft touched down on runway 15, the touchdown point was located 229 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly beyond the ideal position. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little fast, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -352 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 meters, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing phase was satisfactory.
The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft coming to a stop within the designated runway area. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 274°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing operation. Overall, the landing performance of the Airbus A320 at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg scored 89.4%, reflecting a good but not outstanding performance.
