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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 360 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 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport in Porto, Portugal. The takeoff distance was 1,169 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 160°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 54 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,222 feet above sea level to 27,092 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,870 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 3 miles north of LPJO Aerodromo de Alijó Alijó in Portugal, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles west of Torrecilla de la Orden in Spain, and took 23 minutes to descend from an altitude of 27,671 feet above sea level to 3,182 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,489 feet. The descent covered a distance of 95 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport was made from the south east, with a heading of 322.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,217 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 32R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 363 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was -157 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 350°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 258 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 2,705 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach was executed from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 322.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,217 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely conducted under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) given the specific heading and distance from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude above the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 143 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilots had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 363 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's energy and rate of descent.
The touchdown speed of 136 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating that the pilots had maintained a stable and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilots had accurately aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,345 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's energy and rate of descent to achieve a safe and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilots had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. The Boeing 737-800 demonstrated its ability to operate safely and efficiently in a variety of weather conditions, making it a reliable and capable aircraft for commercial aviation operations.
