Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 13 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, marking a successful conclusion to the approach from the north west. The aircraft's descent was characterized by good approach quality, with a steady and controlled rate of descent that allowed for a smooth transition to the runway. At 1 nm and 195 ft agl, the aircraft was well-positioned for the landing, with a heading of 122.0° that aligned perfectly with the runway.

As the aircraft touched down 102 m beyond the touchdown zone, the threshold speed of 148 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 141 kt was a little fast, but the aircraft's deceleration was sufficient to prevent any loss of control. The touchdown rate of -208 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration that helped to slow the aircraft down quickly. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway and aligned with the centerline.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment as it slowed down to a stop. The total landing distance of 1,171 m was 55% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a headwind of 13 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. Overall, the landing was scored 98.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
