Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 444 m 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 06R at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,007 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 20 knots at 50°, a crosswind of 3 knots, and a headwind of 20 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Palma de Mallorca Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 106 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,015 feet above sea level to 37,126 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,111 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 35 miles northeast of Es Castell, Spain. This phase lasted for 46 minutes and covered a distance of 325 nautical miles.
The enroute cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 1 mile east of Pietrasanta, Italy. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,393 feet above sea level to 9,246 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,147 feet. After the initial descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Cavarzere, Italy. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final level cruise phase was followed by another descent, which began 1 mile west of Gavello, Italy. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 31 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 9,082 feet above sea level to 1,273 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,809 feet. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, flying from the southwest at a heading of 42.0° and at an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 04R, which had a length of 3,312 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 447 meters, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -181 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 70°, a crosswind of 3 knots, and a headwind of 5 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 581 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 114 minutes. The aircraft used 4,063 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 04R was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 42.0° at an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, resulting in a 98.5% score.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 124 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 447 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made the necessary adjustments to ensure a smooth landing. The touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots, which the pilot effectively managed to minimize the impact on the landing. The runway length of 3,312 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 1,334 meters, which accounted for approximately 40% of the runway, was also satisfactory. This indicates that the pilot had maintained control and made the necessary adjustments to ensure a smooth and safe landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The favorable weather conditions and the pilot's expertise contributed to a safe and smooth landing, which is a testament to the pilot's training and experience.
