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.
Side view — the last 5,188 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,188 ft of the 9,974 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,876 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 12R at MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún, Mexico. The takeoff distance was 5,944 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 84 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of MMUN Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 139 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,038 feet above sea level to 34,820 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,783 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 105 minutes and covered a distance of 1,242 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location defined by latitude 23.3229682 and longitude -87.2438453. After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south west of Northwood, Iowa, United States. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 33,868 feet above sea level to 1,913 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,955 feet.
The final approach to runway 12R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the north west, with a heading of 122.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,074 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12R, which had a length of 9,974 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 518 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 141 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -210 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 4,930 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,479 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 166 minutes. The aircraft used 22,699 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP) on runway 12R. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 122.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,074 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 kn, registering at 144 kn. However, the touchdown point was 518 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 141 kn was a bit faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°F and a wind speed of 7 kn from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kn, while the headwind component was 7 kn, which likely contributed to the aircraft's slightly above-target threshold speed. The runway length of 9,974 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance.
The total landing distance of 4,930 feet was 49% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short 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 for a controlled deceleration.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.3%. The slight deviations in touchdown speed and point were minor and did not compromise the safety of the aircraft or its occupants.
