Landing on runway 05R at KIND Indianapolis International Airport in the Boeing 737-900

Landing Score 98.45 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 05R at the Indianapolis International Airport (KIND). The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 44.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,693 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 9,991 feet.

The initial landing attempt was marked by a significantly high threshold height at 86 feet agl, exceeding the target. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 228 knots, indicating a potential issue with the aircraft's approach configuration. However, the subsequent landing attempt showed improvement, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was only slightly above the target at 144 knots.

The touchdown distance of 1,288 feet was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 140 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°F and winds of 8 knots at 300°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance of 4,322 feet was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor issues that can be addressed in future approaches.
