The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,020 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,528 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,165 feet, which was 26% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 90°F and winds of 6 knots at 180°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile south of KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,135 feet above sea level to 34,422 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,287 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 11 miles southeast of Bridge City, Texas, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile west of LA19 CHRISTUS Coushatta Health Care Center Heliport in Coushatta, Louisiana. The descent from 34,406 feet above sea level to 1,286 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,120 feet in 22 minutes, covered a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was made from the south, heading 15.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 02 was successful, with a touchdown point 151 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -155 feet per minute, also good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 88°F and winds of 6 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 4,274 feet, which was 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 270 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used 5,506 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 02 was executed from the south, with a heading of 15.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was characterized by a high degree of accuracy, with a score of 99.9%.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, signifying that the pilots had properly configured the aircraft for landing. The touchdown point was located 151 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also good, indicating that the pilots had successfully slowed the aircraft to a safe speed for landing. The touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, demonstrating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing process. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots had properly aligned the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots, which the pilots successfully managed during the landing process. The total landing distance of 4,274 feet was 61% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had successfully slowed the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout process and had successfully brought the aircraft to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, this landing was a testament to the skills and expertise of the pilots, as well as the capabilities of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
