The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36R at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,146 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were favorable, with a temperature of 51°F and no wind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Grapevine, Texas, and ascended from 1,561 feet above sea level to 34,486 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,926 feet, in 20 minutes and covering 124 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of De Kalb, Texas, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering 258 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent overhead Germantown, Tennessee, and descended from 34,492 feet above sea level to 25,652 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,841 feet, in 18 minutes and covering 94 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north east of Scott Parsons, Tennessee, and lasted for 55 minutes, covering 267 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, which started 6 miles east of Hindman, Kentucky, and climbed from 21,563 feet above sea level to 35,013 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,451 feet, in 14 minutes and covering 115 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Lewisburg, West Virginia, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering 186 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles west of Dunkirk, Maryland, and descended from 34,970 feet above sea level to 3,047 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,923 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 113 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south east of Mount Laurel, New Jersey, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27R at KPHL Philadelphia International Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 255.0° and at an altitude of 1,219 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 27R, which had a length of 9,473 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,472 feet, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -144 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were different from those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 19°F and a wind of 5 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 5,741 feet, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,179 nautical miles, and the flight took 197 minutes. The aircraft used 18,796 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Philadelphia International Airport (KPHL) on runway 27R. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 255.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,219 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 147 kt, registering at 148 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 1,472 feet was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 144 kt was a bit faster than desired, but the smooth touchdown rate of -144 feet per minute (fpm) ensured a stable and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°F and a wind speed of 5 kt from 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 5,741 feet was 61% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop within a short distance.
Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a short distance. The pilots' skills and experience played a crucial role in ensuring a successful landing, despite the slightly above-target threshold speed and faster-than-desired touchdown speed.
