What went well

Touched down at -238 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 10.8 ft off the centreline, no bounce
1.23 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, −1.13 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 2,761 ft at 58 %, −0.29 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 22.0 ft left at 87 %, −0.25 points

Next time

Departure

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

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 15 ft off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 24 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 24 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 24 ft to touchdown.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, where the Boeing 737-800 initiated its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft then departed from runway 18L at KDFW, taking off with a distance of 4,405 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, and lifted off at a speed of 164 knots (kt). At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions consisted of a temperature of 95°F, with winds at 2 kt at 200°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.

After departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,623 feet above sea level (asl) and steadily rose to 25,086 ft asl over a distance of 63 nm within 11 minutes. The enroute climb phase of the flight started roughly 1 mile south of KDFW. Following the climb, the aircraft leveled off into a 34-minute cruise, covering a distance of 254 nm at a specified point 1 mile south of Fruitvale, Texas.

As the flight continued, the enroute descent commenced 2 miles south of Ventress, Louisiana, and spanned 21 minutes, during which the aircraft descended by 24,233 ft from 25,068 ft asl to 835 ft asl. The descent phase concluded with a distance of 67 nm. The final approach to runway 11 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was executed from the west, at an altitude of 831 feet above ground level (agl) with a heading of 106.0°, at a distance of 4 nm from touchdown.

Upon landing, the touchdown point occurred at 1,406 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone, primarily due to a touchdown speed of 132 kt that was slightly above target. Additionally, the touchdown speed was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -156 feet per minute (fpm). As for runway alignment, it was observed that the aircraft landed slightly off-center by 11 ft.

Upon landing, the Boeing 737-800 successfully rolled off the runway at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, which had an effective length of 9,778 ft. The local weather conditions during landing consisted of a temperature of 96°F, with winds at 3 kt at 49°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance was calculated to be 5,733 ft, which accounted for approximately 59% of the runway length. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was found to be very good.

Upon completion of the landing phase, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the runway to the parking area, taking a duration of 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total distance flown during the flight was 393 nm, while it spanned a duration of 81 minutes and utilized 8,493 pounds (lbs) of fuel.

Landing Summary

A Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 11 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. The final approach was carried out from the west with a heading of 106.0° at 4 nautical miles and 831 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down safely, but with some notable factors to consider.

The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the crew made a minor adjustment to ensure a safe approach. This adjustment, combined with the speed, resulted in the aircraft landing at a target speed but at a slightly higher than ideal speed of 141 kt. The touchdown point was located 1,406 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, exceeding the typical safe distance and resulting in a slightly faster touchdown speed of 132 kt.

Fortunately, the descent rate was within the acceptable range at -156 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating that the crew effectively controlled the aircraft's descent. However, the runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, being 11 feet off-centre. Despite this minor deviation, the overall performance during rollout was very good.

Given the local weather conditions at the time of landing, with a temperature of 96°F and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 49°, the crew managed to navigate the aircraft safely in a 2 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind situation. This combination of wind conditions contributed to a successful landing distance of 5,733 feet, with the aircraft covering 59% of the available runway length of 9,778 feet.
