Landing on runway 03L at SVMC La Chinita International Airport in the Boeing 737-700

Landing Score 88.99 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at La Chinita International Airport, specifically on runway 03L. The final approach was initiated from the south, with a heading of 23.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,251 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 109 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,431 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 101 knots. This speed was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was only fair at -276 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting that the aircraft could have been slowed down more efficiently during the landing phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 85°F and a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 16°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing approach.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 6,447 feet, which accounted for approximately 65% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and the pilot executed the landing smoothly. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 32 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the landing phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the landing phase. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
