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 5,932 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,932 ft of the 9,032 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,158 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18L at KAUS Austin Bergstrom International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,020 feet, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 101 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 169 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Seidel Ranch Airport in Austin, Texas. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 117 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,559 feet above sea level to 37,044 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,485 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Aldine, Texas. This phase lasted for 78 minutes and covered a distance of 611 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 59 miles west of Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 146 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,609 feet above sea level to 1,383 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,226 feet.
The final approach to runway 35R at KMCO Orlando International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 359.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 35R, which had a length of 9,032 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 100 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The landing was successful, with a threshold speed of 137 knots, a touchdown distance of 1,167 feet, and a touchdown speed of 132 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -198 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 5,674 feet, which was 63% of the runway length.
The final taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 884 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 139 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,069 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport on runway 35R, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated precise control and navigation skills, ensuring a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited excellent performance, with a threshold speed of 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,167 feet was also within the expected parameters, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable limits, signifying a controlled and gentle touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. Despite these moderate wind conditions, the aircraft's pilot demonstrated exceptional skill and control, ensuring a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The total landing distance of 5,674 feet was 63% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and efficient touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at KMCO Orlando International Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and expertise in navigating the aircraft through challenging weather conditions and achieving a high score of 99.8%.
