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 6,357 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,357 ft of the 10,004 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,346 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 01L at Tampa International Airport (KTPA). The takeoff distance was 6,538 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 93 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Egypt Lake-Leto in Florida. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 140 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,070 feet above sea level to 33,400 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,330 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of White Springs in Florida. This phase lasted for 85 minutes and covered a distance of 612 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of OH42 Hawk's Nest Airport in Butler, Ohio. The descent took 28 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,293 feet above sea level to 1,916 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,378 feet.
The final approach to runway 21L at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (KDTW) was made from the north-east, heading 208.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 21L, which had a length of 10,004 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,352 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -198 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 140 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 6,103 feet, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 873 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 147 minutes. The aircraft used 14,257 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 21L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 208.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 148 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot adjustments. The touchdown distance of 1,352 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 145 kt, which was slightly faster than the ideal speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 4 kt from 140°. The crosswind component was 4 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 6,103 feet was 61% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots executed a well-planned and controlled landing, taking into account the aircraft's performance and the runway conditions. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop within a short distance. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft through the final approach and landing phases, despite the slight deviations from the target speeds and distances.
