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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 50 kt FAST on the reference speed of 87 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,496 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,590 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 15L at KIAH, covering approximately 1 nm in 9 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 15L, the aircraft used 2,179 ft of runway, representing 18 % of the available length, and lifted off at 97 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 84 °F, wind 5 kt from 170°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced about 1 mile south of KIAH, with the aircraft ascending from 983 ft asl to 26,008 ft asl, an increase of 25,025 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 68 nm.
Level cruise began roughly 3 miles south-west of Industry, lasting 5 minutes and extending 23 nm.
Descent was initiated approximately 4 miles south of La Grange, with altitude decreasing from 26,002 ft asl to 2,077 ft asl, a loss of 23,925 ft over 22 minutes and a distance of 99 nm.
The final approach to runway 13R at KSAT involved a descent from 1,301 ft agl to 72 ft agl in 111 seconds, and the aircraft was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 13R at KSAT, whose total length is 8,496 ft, featured a threshold height of 78 ft agl and a threshold speed of 86 kt. Touchdown occurred at 1,591 ft down the runway with a speed of 67 kt and a vertical rate of minus 103 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was reported as perfect. Local weather at the time was a temperature of 86 °F, wind 11 kt from 140°, with a 2 kt cross-wind and an 11 kt head-wind component.
The rollout distance measured 1,835 ft, representing 22 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect throughout.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 197 nm, required 58 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 422 lb of fuel.
The final approach to runway 13R at KSAT San Antonio International Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,301 ft agl to 72 ft agl in 111 seconds and earned scores on the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the height of 78 ft agl was reported as well above target, while the threshold speed of 86 kt was judged good. The flare proceeded from this altitude into the touchdown zone.
Touchdown occurred 1,591 ft down the runway, with a speed of 67 kt that was described as good and a smooth rate of minus 103 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the total landing distance measured 1,835 ft, representing 22 % of the 8,496 ft runway.
Rollout alignment remained perfect as the aircraft decelerated along the runway. Local weather was 86 °F with wind 11 kt from 140°, a 2 kt crosswind component and an 11 kt headwind component.
To bring the threshold height into the target envelope, a slightly lower flare altitude should be practiced while preserving the current speed and alignment performance. Maintaining the existing touchdown speed and rate will continue to produce efficient use of runway length.
