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 8,150 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,233 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 06R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,602 feet, which was 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of the airport and reaching a maximum altitude of 35,701 feet above sea level. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude of 34,631 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 30 minutes and covered a distance of 245 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 55 miles southwest of Mazargues, France. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting overhead Saint-Maurice, Switzerland. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 101 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude of 33,019 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at LSZH Zürich Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 276.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,411 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 8,150 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 45 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 67 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was good, and the touchdown distance was 1,235 feet, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -207 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 4,064 feet, which was 50% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 491 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 83 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,287 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) on runway 28, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 276.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,411 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 1,235 feet was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the acceptable range, further indicating a well-executed landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -207 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilots may have experienced a slight loss of control during the final stages of the approach. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centerline during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 45°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 67°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 4,064 feet was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilots demonstrating good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the fair touchdown rate suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement in terms of maintaining a more stable approach and touchdown.
