Landing on runway 31 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the CRJ900

Landing Score 99.61 %

Landing Summary

The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving a score of 99.6%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 302.0° at 1 nautical mile and 214 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 31, which has a length of 2,131 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 144 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot adjustments. The touchdown distance of 288 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.

The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down at a slightly higher speed. The touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down smoothly after touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot error. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment after touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were reported as follows: temperature 8°C, wind 4 knots at 320°, crosswind 1 knot, and headwind 4 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing, but the pilot was able to successfully navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled manner in which the aircraft was landed.
