The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 13,088 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 662 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 20 at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in Barcelona, Spain. The takeoff distance was 4,011 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 8 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. After departing from Barcelona, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 28,651 feet. This climb covered a distance of 59 nautical miles and took 14 minutes, with an increase in altitude of 27,585 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 63 minutes and covered a distance of 434 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 9 miles south of Alas i Cerc in Catalonia, Spain. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started overhead Cormontreuil in Grand Est, France. The descent took the aircraft down from an altitude of 27,808 feet to 2,480 feet, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles in 21 minutes.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport. The approach was made from the north-east, heading 240 degrees, at an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the destination airport were a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 8 knots at 240 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 24, which had a length of 13,088 feet. The touchdown distance was 670 feet, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 593 nautical miles and took 115 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 10,395 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 240.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evidenced by the perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 128 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 131 knots. The touchdown distance of 670 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 240°. This resulted in a headwind of 8 knots, which had a negligible impact on the aircraft's approach and landing. The crosswind component was zero, further reducing the complexity of the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,662 feet was 28% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of precision and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
