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 13,337 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 845 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 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24 at Václav Havel Airport Prague, with a takeoff distance of 4,621 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 55°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Dobroviz, a town in the Czech Republic, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,221 feet above sea level to 36,857 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,635 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles northeast of Trnava-Kopánka Trnava, a town in Slovakia, and lasted for 67 minutes, covering a distance of 521 nautical miles. The descent started 2 miles southeast of Dalgopol, a town in Bulgaria, where the aircraft descended from 36,977 feet above sea level to 1,493 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,484 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at İstanbul Airport was made from the north, heading 179.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 17L, which had a length of 13,337 feet, was successful, with a threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown distance, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate all being good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 72°F temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 190 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 4,609 feet, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 809 nautical miles, taking 125 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,767 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 17L at LTFM İstanbul Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to the runway was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach speed was well-managed, with a threshold speed of 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-800. The touchdown distance of 852 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the recommended range, and the touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute (fpm) was also acceptable, suggesting a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve control during the landing. The runway length of 13,337 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 4,609 feet, which was only 35% of the available runway length.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained the aircraft's heading and alignment with the runway centerline throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase and had brought it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway threshold and coming to a stop in a short distance.
