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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,040 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 398 m 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,352 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of KSAN San Diego International Airport. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 116 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,024 feet above sea level to 33,884 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,859 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 13 miles west of 72CL Iron Mountain Pumping Plant Airport Desert Center. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 1,070 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles east of MN90 Luverne Community Hospital Heliport Luverne. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 135 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,139 feet above sea level to 2,127 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,012 feet.
The final approach to runway 12R at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 121.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12R, which had a length of 3,040 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 395 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 146 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -174 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,394 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,331 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 81 minutes. The aircraft used 8,345 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport on runway 12R. The final approach was executed from the northwest, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a high level of precision throughout the approach, achieving a score of 99.2%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 146 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 395 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and precision during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 130°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,394 meters was 46% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot maintained control and precision throughout the landing.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating high levels of skill and precision throughout the approach, landing, and rollout phases.
