Landing on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 96.01 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 31 was initiated from the southeast, heading 303.0° at 1 nautical mile and 264 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's descent onto the runway was smooth, with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 154 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 199 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection or a slightly fast approach. The touchdown speed of 148 knots was also a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute (fpm) was satisfactory.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach or a slight drift during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a light wind of 11 knots at 0°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a moderate headwind of 6 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,232 meters was 58% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
