What held you back

Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 1,000 ft gate 86 %, 500 ft gate 86 %, −0.95 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -222 fpm at 87 %, −0.17 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 91 %, −0.14 points

Next time

Arrival

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.

What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.

Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.

See Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

Departing from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP), the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 17, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,889-meter-long runway, which was utilized at 78% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots, marking the beginning of its ascent into the local skies, where the temperature was a pleasant 21°C.

As the aircraft climbed from 1,902 feet above sea level to 31,992 feet, it covered a distance of 111 nautical miles in 13 minutes, demonstrating a steady and efficient climb. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 1 mile southwest of Heron Lake, Minnesota, and lasted for 22 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 609 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a second climb phase, this time from 31,962 feet to 33,940 feet, an increase of 1,977 feet, in just 2 minutes and 32 nautical miles. The final cruise phase began 6 miles east of Hotchkiss, Colorado, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering 390 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated a descent from 33,999 feet to 1,712 feet, a decrease of 32,286 feet, in 16 minutes and 120 nautical miles.

The Boeing 737-900 finally began its final approach to runway 31L at Palm Springs International Airport (KPSP), aligning itself with the runway from the southeast at a heading of 322.0°. The aircraft touched down 50 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 143 knots, with an excellent touchdown rate of -77 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was equally impressive. The total landing distance was 1,702 meters, 101% of the runway length. Following a taxiing period of 2 minutes and less than 1 nautical mile, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed its journey of 1,271 nautical miles, using 8,985 kilograms of fuel in the process, which took a total of 77 minutes.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 322.0° as it descended from 1,250 ft above ground level (agl) to 4 nm from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled rate of descent, ultimately resulting in a good threshold height.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a satisfactory touchdown speed of 143 kt, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 142 kt. However, the touchdown point was located 50 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown location. The touchdown rate of -77 fpm was an excellent indicator of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway.

The rollout phase was characterized by a very good alignment, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 1,702 m was 101% of the runway length, indicating a slightly longer than average rollout. Despite this, the overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a final score of 88.2%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 °C and a wind speed of 7 kt at 130°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
