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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,329 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,329 ft of the 8,405 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,060 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17R at the Orlando International Airport (KMCO). The takeoff distance was 5,383 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 83°F and winds of 10 knots at 99°. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from KMCO, the enroute climb started 1 mile south east of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,099 feet above sea level to 24,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,900 feet in 11 minutes and covering 50 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 3 miles west of Roseland, Florida, and lasted 7 minutes, covering 47 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 1 mile south east of the Tropical Plantation Airport (18FA), where the aircraft descended from 24,858 feet above sea level to 4,210 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,648 feet in 17 minutes and covering 70 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead the Opa Locka West Miami (X46) and lasted 5 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 4 miles south west of X46, where the aircraft descended from 3,165 feet above sea level to 1,317 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,847 feet in 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at the Miami International Airport (KMIA) was made from the north west, heading 119.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,299 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a runway length of 8,405 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 139 knots.
The touchdown distance was 1,054 feet, which was good, and the touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were a temperature of 84°F and winds of 13 knots at 100°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 5,056 feet, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 185 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 51 minutes, using 5,601 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) with a score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the northwest, heading 119.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing were executed flawlessly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 1,054 feet, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly above the optimal range, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout.
Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a moderate headwind of 12 knots. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, which further contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 5,056 feet was within 60% of the available runway length, indicating a safe and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail during the landing phase. Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at KMIA was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing.
