The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 12,289 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 491 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36R at the Orlando International Airport (KMCO). The takeoff distance was 3,963 feet, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 93 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 5 knots at 23 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of KMCO, where the aircraft climbed from 1,150 feet above sea level to 37,533 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,383 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 10 miles southwest of Cross City, Florida, and lasted for 87 minutes, covering a distance of 627 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 3 miles south of Humble, Texas, and descended from 37,565 feet above sea level to 4,370 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,195 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 2 miles north of Webberville, Texas, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 1 mile northwest of Manor, Texas, and descended from 4,268 feet above sea level to 1,838 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,430 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18R at the Austin Bergstrom International Airport (KAUS) was made from the north, heading 179.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,326 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 491 feet, which was 31% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, and the touchdown rate was -183 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were the same as before, with a temperature of 93 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 16 knots at 160 degrees.
The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 16 knots. The total landing distance was 3,838 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 884 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 148 minutes. The aircraft used 13,971 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport on runway 18R, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,326 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 130 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 127 knots, which was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 491 feet was well within the expected parameters.
The touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing and that the pilots were able to manage the descent smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to navigate the aircraft to the centerline of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were hot and windy, with a temperature of 93°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from 160°. However, the pilots were able to successfully manage the crosswind and headwind, with a crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind component of 16 knots. The total landing distance of 3,838 feet was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, demonstrating the pilots' skill and experience in navigating the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
