Landing on runway 27R at KPHL Philadelphia International Airport in the Boeing 737-600

Landing Score 99.6 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-600 executed the final approach to runway 27R at KPHL Philadelphia International Airport from the east on a heading of 255.0° at 4 nm and 1,281 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 32 °C with wind 4 kt from 250°, giving a 3 kt head-wind component and zero cross-wind.

At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 126 kt.

Touchdown occurred 311 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed a little fast at 119 kt and a touchdown rate fair at -227 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good and the total landing distance was 792 m, representing 27 % of the runway length.

Rollout alignment was very good throughout the remaining distance.

With a final score of 99.6 % the landing was excellent; refining speed control to bring the threshold and touchdown speeds closer to target and moderating the flare to reduce the rate of descent will tighten the already strong performance.
