Landing on runway 12 at EGFF Cardiff International Airport in the Boeing 737-MAX8

Landing Score 91.4 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Cardiff International Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. The final approach to runway 12 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 117.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 143 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown distance of 438 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -333 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 16 knots and a headwind component of 7 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

However, there was a minor issue with the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 20.7 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase of the landing. Nevertheless, this issue did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.

Overall, the Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the landing at Cardiff International Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. While there were some minor issues with the runway rollout alignment, the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
