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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,405 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 886 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 23 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 27L at Philadelphia International Airport (KPHL). The takeoff distance was 4,544 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 93 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Folcroft, Pennsylvania. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 147 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,087 feet above sea level to 33,848 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of Gwynn, Virginia. This phase lasted for 83 minutes and covered a distance of 633 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 39 miles northeast of Jupiter Island, Florida. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 101 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,117 feet to 1,317 feet.
The final approach to runway 12 at Miami International Airport (KMIA) was made from the northwest, with a heading of 119.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at an altitude of 14 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 12, which had a length of 8,405 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and a touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 3,902 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The 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 901 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 156 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 16,202 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) on runway 12, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the northwest, heading 119.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft touches down on the runway, was also good at 136 kt. This suggests that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to maintain a stable approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was equally impressive. The touchdown distance, which is the distance between the point where the aircraft touches down on the runway and the point where it comes to a stop, was good at 884 ft. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot had a good feel for the aircraft's speed and was able to slow it down quickly and smoothly.
The touchdown speed of 132 kt was also good, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to maintain a stable approach. The touchdown rate, which is the rate at which the aircraft descends to the ground, was good at -157 fpm, indicating that the pilot had a good feel for the aircraft's speed and was able to control its descent smoothly.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's position and was able to align it with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 86°F and a wind of 4 kt at 110°, were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the smoothness of the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,902 ft, which is 46% of the runway length, was also good, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to slow it down quickly and smoothly. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had a good feel for the aircraft's speed and was able to control its rollout smoothly.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at Miami International Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smoothness and precision of the landing, and the aircraft's performance was impressive.
