Landing on runway 01 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 98.85 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) on runway 01. The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,404 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 147 knots, indicating a slight over-speed. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a relatively smooth touchdown.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.

The total landing distance of 3,793 feet was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop within a short distance.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.8%. The slight over-speed and fast touchdown speed were minor issues, but the aircraft's good threshold height, smooth touchdown, and perfect runway rollout alignment made up for these minor deviations.
