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 5,068 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,068 ft of the 9,392 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,477 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 13 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York. The takeoff distance was 4,685 feet, which accounted for 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 31°F and winds of 2 knots at 108 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started over Flushing, New York, and the aircraft ascended from 1,035 feet above sea level to 32,084 feet, an increase of 31,049 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began over Limerick, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 155 minutes, covering a distance of 1,014 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 7 miles northwest of Pitkin, Louisiana, and descended from 32,035 feet to 1,230 feet, a decrease of 30,806 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26L at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH) was made from the east, heading 271.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,130 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 26L, which had a length of 9,392 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,487 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -174 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 75°F and winds of 4 knots at 180 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 4,828 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,233 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 206 minutes. The aircraft used 18,497 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,130 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 1,487 ft was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 142 kt, which was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -174 fpm was good, indicating a controlled deceleration. 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 favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 4 kt from 180°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 kt. The total landing distance of 4,828 ft was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently on the runway.
