What went well

Touched down at -211 ft/m — a soft arrival
Touchdown 1,320 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 17 ft and 131 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 92 %, −0.08 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Landing on runway 26L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport in the Boeing 737-800
Landing Score 99.26 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was a warm 86°F, and the wind was blowing at 8 knots from a direction of 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft, ensuring a smooth and stable approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed of 131 knots and a touchdown distance of 1,327 feet. The touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 124 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than ideal at -212 feet per minute (fpm), which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly harder than necessary.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure a safe and controlled touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 42% of the runway length. The total landing distance was 3,983 feet, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway length of 9,392 feet. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the landing, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
