The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,467 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,467 ft of the 8,988 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 799 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 24R at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX). The takeoff distance was 4,966 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 74 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 6 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile south of Marina del Rey, California, and the aircraft ascended from 1,169 feet above sea level to 37,856 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,687 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Oasis, California, and lasted for 116 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 970 nautical miles. The enroute descent began overhead Isbell Ranch Airport in Davilla, Texas, and the aircraft descended from 38,421 feet above sea level to 1,403 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,018 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH) was made from the east, heading 270.0 degrees, at 4 nautical miles and 1,301 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26R, which had a length of 8,988 feet, was successful, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 137 knots. The touchdown distance was 803 feet, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -211 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 3 knots at 45 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 5,205 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,211 nautical miles and lasted for 181 minutes, using 16,751 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 803 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 45°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 2 knots each, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 5,205 feet was 58% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled approach, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory in the given weather conditions.
