Landing on runway 35L at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 56.52 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft landed at KSDF Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, with a score of 56.5%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 347.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,515 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully landed on runway 35L, which has a length of 10,014 feet.

However, there were several areas of concern during the landing. The threshold height at 139 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft touched down higher than it should have. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 210 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed. The touchdown point was also very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, which could have increased the risk of overrun.

The touchdown speed of 203 knots was excessively fast, and the touchdown rate of -831 feet per minute (fpm) was very heavy. This suggests that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent during the final approach, which could have been due to a variety of factors, including a high approach speed or a failure to configure the aircraft for landing.

In terms of alignment, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 26 feet from the centreline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including a crosswind or a failure to properly align the aircraft with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. There was no significant crosswind or headwind, which may have contributed to the aircraft's alignment issues.

Overall, the landing was not without its challenges, and there were several areas where the pilot could have improved their performance. However, the aircraft was able to safely land on the runway, and the pilot was able to recover from any errors that may have been made during the approach.
