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 2,740 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 539 m past the threshold — beyond 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 31 at KDBQ Dubuque Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,034 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -8°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 288°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northwest of KDBQ Dubuque Regional Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,106 feet above sea level to 37,971 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,865 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 4 miles south of Norwalk, Iowa. This phase of the flight lasted for 134 minutes and covered a distance of 858 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started approximately 8 miles southeast of Tonalea, Arizona. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,907 feet above sea level to 8,998 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,909 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Tusayan, Arizona, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 03 at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 41.0° at an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 03 at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport was successful, with a touchdown point located 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -51 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -11°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 16°.
The total landing distance was 1,127 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,080 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 182 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,540 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 03 was executed from the southwest, with a heading of 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,296 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the aircraft to maintain a good threshold height, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown point was located 126 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a manageable distance. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -51 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -11°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 16°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable approach and landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,127 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to maintain a high degree of control throughout the landing, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable stop at the end of the runway. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
