The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,032 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 676 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22L at Chicago Midway International Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,390 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 91°F and a wind speed of 22 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 22 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile east of Bedford Park, Illinois. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,645 feet above sea level to 36,190 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,545 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 113 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 3 miles west of Rockport, Indiana, and lasted for 54 minutes, covering 629 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 9 miles southwest of Cuyler Field in Glen St. Mary, Florida. The descent from 36,577 feet above sea level to 1,383 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,194 feet, took 18 minutes and covered 116 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at Orlando International Airport was made from the north, heading 179.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 17L, which had a length of 9,032 feet, was successful, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was 683 feet, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -132 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 13 knots at 160°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The total landing distance was 3,325 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 6 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 866 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 105 minutes. The aircraft used 13,966 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport on runway 17L, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach speed and threshold height were well within the acceptable limits, with a threshold speed of 138 knots and a good threshold height. This ensured a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway. The touchdown distance of 683 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a well-executed landing.
The touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, which is a desirable outcome as it reduces the risk of overrunning the runway. The touchdown rate of -132 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 13 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 3,325 feet was 37% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
