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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,800 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 194 m 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 04R at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawaii. The takeoff distance was 784 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 50°, with no crosswind and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Honolulu, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport. The climb took 53 minutes to reach a maximum altitude of 34,929 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,913 feet from the initial altitude of 1,015 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 347 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which began at a latitude of 24.2992899 and a longitude of -152.4937196. This cruise phase lasted for 213 minutes and covered a distance of 1,633 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started approximately 93 miles southwest of Pescadero, California. The descent took 7 minutes to reduce the altitude from 35,039 feet to 3,106 feet, a decrease of 31,933 feet. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 95 nautical miles. The enroute descent was followed by a brief level cruise phase, which started overhead Montara, California, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01L at KAPC Napa County Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 21.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 1,800 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 141 knots, and the touchdown distance was 194 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 350°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 717 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,119 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 292 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 15,850 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at KAPC Napa County Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 21.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the aircraft to make a precise approach to runway 01L, which is 1,800 meters in length.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 141 knots was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 194 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than recommended, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 717 meters was 40% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. 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 of the Boeing 737-900 at KAPC Napa County Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, altitude, and alignment during the approach and landing phases was impressive, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
