Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxi-out from the parking area to runway 22R at KBOS Logan International Airport. The aircraft taxied for 14 minutes and covered 5 nm before lining up for departure.

During the takeoff roll the MD-83 used 1,900 m of runway, representing 87 % of the available length, and lifted off at 172 kt. Local weather at the time was 25 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 190 °, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 10 kt headwind.

Climb commenced overhead MA17 Avco/Lowell Heliport, with the aircraft ascending from 716 ft asl to 33,978 ft asl, an increase of 33,262 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 128 nm.

The first cruise segment started overhead Amagansett, New York, and lasted 25 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 170 nm at level altitude.

Descent began 8 miles south-east of North Wildwood, New Jersey, with the airplane descending from 33,961 ft asl to 10,064 ft asl, a loss of 23,898 ft in 14 minutes and a distance of 81 nm.

A brief cruise followed 4 miles south of 7MD8 Kent Fort Manor Airport, Stevensville, Maryland, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.

The second descent started overhead MD22 Deale Airport, Deale, Maryland, and reduced altitude from 9,208 ft asl to 1,350 ft asl, a decrease of 7,859 ft in 7 minutes while traveling 30 nm.

Final approach to runway 01 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was conducted from the south, on a heading of 353.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,334 ft agl.

Touchdown occurred before the threshold at a speed of 129 kt, with a heavy touchdown rate of -618 fpm and a lateral deviation of 18.1 m from the centreline. Weather at the airport was 23 °C, wind 10 kt from 199 °, a 4 kt crosswind and a 9 kt tailwind.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,346 m, representing 62 % of the runway, and the rollout track was misaligned by 17.5 m from the centreline.

Taxi-in to the parking area required 1 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

In total the MD-83 flew 427nm, the elapsed time for the flight was 83, and fuel consumption was recorded as -1,807 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The MD-83 approached runway 01 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport from the south on a final approach heading 353.0° at 4 nm and 1,334 ft agl. Local weather was 23 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 199°, a 4 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt tailwind component.

Touchdown occurred before the threshold at a speed of 129 kt, which the data describes as good, but the vertical rate was heavy at minus 618 fpm and the touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 18.1 m from the centreline.

The aircraft travelled a total landing distance of 1,346 m, representing 62 % of the runway length, and the rollout remained misaligned by 17.5 m from the centreline.

Refine lateral guidance to reduce the 18-meter touchdown offset and the 17.5-meter rollout drift, and moderate the descent rate to avoid the heavy minus 618 fpm vertical speed. These adjustments will help convert the solid 87.8 % score into an even higher performance.
