Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 17L at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,893 feet, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 89 degrees. This resulted in a 10-knot crosswind and a 0-knot headwind. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles southeast of KDEN Denver International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 6,387 feet above sea level to 9,328 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,941 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northwest of Aetna Estates, Colorado. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 9,820 feet above sea level to 37,278 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,458 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. This climb phase took the aircraft over various locations, including Aurora, Colorado.

After the second climb phase, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southwest of Aspen, Colorado. This phase lasted for 78 minutes and covered a distance of 501 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, which started 11 miles south of KFOW Fort Irwin Airport in California. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,061 feet above sea level to 1,214 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,847 feet, in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 116 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 20R at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport. The approach was made from the northeast, with a heading of 208.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,146 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 20R, which had a length of 5,699 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 142 knots.

The touchdown point was 180 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -115 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 61 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 132 degrees. This resulted in a 2-knot crosswind and a 0-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 3,642 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 20R was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 208.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,146 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed descent and alignment with the runway. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and control its descent. Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 180 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length of 5,699 feet.

The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -115 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skills in aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 132°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was zero. These conditions contributed to a relatively straightforward landing, with the pilot able to focus on executing a precise and controlled touchdown.

The total landing distance of 3,642 feet was 64% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed and control its descent effectively, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, this landing was a textbook example of exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, control its descent, and maintain alignment with the runway centerline resulted in a smooth and controlled touchdown, with a short landing distance and perfect runway rollout alignment.
