The first cruise segment began 3 mi south of 96IS Hildreth Air Park, Sidell, Illinois, and lasted 33 minutes, during which 269 nm were flown.

Descent started 1 mi north-east of TN12 Hudgin Air Airport, Lewisburg, Tennessee, with the aircraft descending from 40,000 ft asl to 5,000 ft asl, a loss of 35,000 ft in 19 minutes over 116 nm.

A brief cruise followed 1 mi south-west of Graysville, Alabama, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.

The next descent began 1 mi south-west of AL40 Bonham Airport, Birmingham, Alabama, dropping from 4,757 ft asl to 2,844 ft asl, a decrease of 1,912 ft in 2 minutes across 4 nm.

A short cruise segment then proceeded overhead McDonald Chapel, Alabama, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nm.

Final approach to runway 06 at KBHM Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport was executed from the south-west on a heading of 55.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,577 ft agl.

A go-around was initiated on runway 06 at KBHM when the aircraft reached 1,181 ft agl, aborting the initial approach.

Landing on runway 06 at KBHM was completed with a runway length of 11,980 ft; the threshold speed was 127 kt. Touchdown occurred 201 ft beyond the touchdown zone at 123 kt, with a descent rate of -157 fpm and a lateral deviation of 24 ft from the centreline. Weather at the time was 81 °F, wind 3 kt from 100°, with a 2 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.

The rollout distance measured 4,740 ft, representing 40 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment was slightly off centreline by 28 ft during the roll.

Taxi-in from the runway to the parking area required 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 552 nm, took 99, and consumed 8,500 lb of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-700 entered final approach to runway 06 at KBHM Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport from the south-west on a heading of 55.0° at 4 nm and 1,577 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high.

At threshold the aircraft maintained good height and achieved a threshold speed of 127 kt, both judged good.

Touchdown occurred 201 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 123 kt, both rated good, and the vertical rate was good at -157 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 24 ft from the centreline.

Rollout used a total landing distance of 4,740 ft, representing 40 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 ft from the centreline.

To improve future performance, focus on achieving a stabilized approach by moderating sink rate before the 1,000 ft gate, and refine lateral control to reduce the small centreline offsets observed at touchdown and during rollout.
