Landing on runway 36R at KMCO Orlando International Airport in the Boeing 737-MAX8

Landing Score 95.74 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport, achieving a score of 95.7%. The final approach to runway 36R was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed on runway 36R, which has a length of 3,672 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 146 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 345 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.

However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -482 feet per minute (fpm). This is a concern, as a hard touchdown can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to damage.

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were also favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,550 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown, and that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few areas for improvement. With some adjustments to the approach and touchdown speed, the pilot may be able to achieve an even higher score and a smoother landing.
