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 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 335 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A319 began with a 14-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport. The departure roll took place on runway 23R, with a takeoff distance of 1,064 meters, covering 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 12°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots coming from 249°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The enroute climb commenced over Düsseldorf Airport, climbing from 1,188 feet above sea level to 35,553 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,364 feet in 20 minutes and covering 106 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Zuidschermer in the Netherlands and lasting 37 minutes, covering 242 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile southeast of Kirklevington in England, descending from 35,131 feet above sea level to 2,881 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,249 feet in 25 minutes and covering 108 nautical miles. Another brief level cruise phase followed, starting 1 mile west of Musselburgh in Scotland and lasting 4 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The landing took place on runway 24 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport, with a runway length of 2,132 meters. The aircraft approached the runway at a height of 35 feet above ground level, with a speed of 132 knots at the threshold. The touchdown occurred 335 meters from the threshold at a speed of 124 knots, with a Vertical Speed Indicator reading of -310 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 4°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots coming from 260°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,269 meters, covering 59% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 473 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 111 minutes. The flight consumed 3,853 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
Congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 99.0%! Let's delve into the detailed analysis of each phase of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, it is noted that there was excellent glideslope alignment. This indicates that the aircraft was descending at the correct angle to reach the desired touchdown point on the runway. Maintaining proper glideslope alignment is crucial for a smooth and controlled landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is highlighted that the threshold height was good and there was a great landing flare. The threshold height refers to the height at which the aircraft crosses the runway threshold before landing. A good threshold height ensures a timely touchdown on the runway. Additionally, executing a great landing flare means that the pilot smoothly transitions the aircraft from the descent to a level flight just above the runway before touchdown, ensuring a gentle landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, it was observed that the touchdown rate was hard, but the speed was on target. While a hard touchdown may not be ideal, having the correct speed upon touchdown is crucial for a safe landing. Furthermore, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone indicates that the aircraft landed within the designated landing area on the runway. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 1.8 meters from the centerline suggests a precise landing alignment.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was noted to be very good. Maintaining proper runway alignment during the rollout phase is essential for a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after landing.
Overall, your landing performance was exceptional across all phases, with minor areas for improvement such as the touchdown rate and alignment adjustments. Keep up the great work and continue honing your skills to achieve even higher landing scores in the future!
