What went well

Touched down at -221 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 42 ft and 137 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 6.5 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 1,745 ft at 92 %, −0.09 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 92 %, −0.08 points

Next time

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 107 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 221 fpm.

See Arrival Landing

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

This flight was conducted on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft from Puerto Vallarta International Airport, where it departed runway 04 and began its journey. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The takeoff process started at 4,893 feet, which was about 48% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure included a temperature of 85°F, a wind speed of 4 knots from 50 degrees, with a headwind of 4 knots and no crosswind.

After takeoff, the aircraft began its initial climb, reaching an altitude of 13,379 feet in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport, after which the aircraft levelled off for a short period before starting a second climb from 11 miles southeast of Rincon de Guayabitos, Mexico. This climb reached an altitude of 22,964 feet in 5 minutes and covered 28 nautical miles.

The aircraft then levelled off again, this time lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles before beginning a further climb from 7 miles southeast of Puerta Bonita de Loma Azul Santiago Ixcuintla, Mexico. This climb was the highest of the flight, reaching an altitude of 38,336 feet in 12 minutes and covering 78 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a long period of level cruise, lasting 67 minutes and covering 502 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, decreasing in altitude from 38,462 feet to 13,800 feet in 14 minutes and covering 93 nautical miles. The descent started 5 miles south of the Mellon Ranch Airport in Refugio, Texas, and continued for several short periods as the aircraft alternated between level flight and descents.

The final approach to runway 08R at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport took place from the west, with a heading of 90 degrees at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 90°F, a wind speed of 18 knots from 150 degrees, with a headwind of 9 knots and a crosswind of 16 knots.

The landing itself was smooth, with the touchdown point 368 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, and the rate of descent was -189 feet per minute, both of which were considered good. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, and the roll-out alignment was perfect after the landing. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Overall, the flight was conducted over a distance of 798 nautical miles, lasting 134 minutes and consuming 12,208 pounds of fuel during that time.
