Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

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 36C at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT). The takeoff distance was 1,591 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of KCLT, and climbed from an altitude of 1,723 feet above sea level to 31,059 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,336 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles northwest of Pittsboro, North Carolina, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 2 miles south of Kenbridge, Virginia, and lasted for 20 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 30,934 feet above sea level to 268 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,667 feet, and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 19 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) was made from the north, with a heading of 177.0 degrees at an altitude of 242 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 19, which had a length of 2,190 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 130 knots.

The touchdown point was 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -685 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 170 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 13 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,363 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 306 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes, during which the aircraft used 2,643 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 19 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in the Boeing 737-800
Landing Score 90.01 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) on runway 19. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 177.0° at an altitude of 242 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 130 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not excessively so. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -685 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly steeper-than-desired descent angle.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.5 meters from the centerline, which may be a result of the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, a wind speed of 13 knots from 170°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 13 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which should have made the landing easier.

The total landing distance of 1,363 meters was 62% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and were able to bring it to a stop safely.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor issues that could be improved upon. The pilots demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft, and the aircraft performed as expected. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
