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.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,263 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,001 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 08L at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 3,386 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 80°F temperature and winds of 18 knots at 100°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 17 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Miami Springs, Florida, and reached an altitude of 34,903 feet above sea level (asl) after climbing 33,897 feet in 19 minutes and covering 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 36 miles south of Marathon, Florida, and lasted for 106 minutes, covering a distance of 788 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 17 miles north east of Los Chiles Airport in Nicaragua, descending from 34,849 feet asl to 12,666 feet asl in 14 minutes and covering 90 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 4 miles south of Orotina Airport in Costa Rica and lasted for 10 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 5 miles north east of Esparza, Costa Rica, descending from 12,387 feet asl to 4,156 feet asl in 9 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at Juan Santamaría International Airport (MROC) was made from the east, heading 249.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,147 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,009 feet, a touchdown speed of 126 knots, and a touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 75°F temperature and winds of 7 knots at 89°.
The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 2,953 feet, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,034 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 169 minutes. The aircraft used 15,776 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at MROC Juan Santamaría International Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 25 was executed from the east, with the aircraft heading 249.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,147 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for touchdown. The threshold speed of 133 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 126 knots, which is a good indication of a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range, signifying a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 89°. Although there was a slight tailwind component of 7 knots, the crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots. The pilots effectively managed the wind conditions, ensuring a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 2,953 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilots executed a precise and controlled approach, resulting in a smooth touchdown and a short rollout distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at MROC Juan Santamaría International Airport was a textbook example of safe and efficient flight operations. The pilots' exceptional skills and adherence to standard operating procedures ensured a smooth and controlled touchdown, minimizing the risk of any potential hazards.
