Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft. It began its journey at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, where it took 26 minutes to taxi from the parking area to the runway and cover a distance of approximately 4 nautical miles.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it departed runway 17 at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. The takeoff distance covered 62% of the runway, which was 4,953 feet. The aircraft reached liftoff speed of 163 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were as follows: the temperature was 71 degrees Fahrenheit, and there was a wind speed of 5 knots from 219 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

The enroute climb phase of the flight began just south of Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport and lasted for 16 minutes. During this time, the aircraft climbed from a height of 1,862 feet above sea level to 35,693 feet, an increase of 33,831 feet. The distance covered during this climb was approximately 93 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, flying at an altitude of 35,693 feet.

The first leg of the level cruise started approximately 1 mile north west of Howard's Airport in Clara City, Minnesota, and lasted for 59 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 399 nautical miles during this phase of the flight. After a brief period of level cruise over the Uhrich Airport in Greeley, Colorado, the aircraft began its descent. The descent started 14 miles south of Bridgeport, Nebraska, and lasted for 17 minutes. During this time, the aircraft decreased its altitude from 36,637 feet above sea level to 12,135 feet, a decrease of 24,502 feet. The distance covered during this descent was approximately 94 nautical miles.

The aircraft then transitioned into another level cruise, this time lasting for only 2 minutes. During this phase, it flew over the Kugel-Strong Airport in Platteville, Colorado, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft's descent phase then continued, starting 4 miles east of the Kugel-Strong Airport and lasting for 3 minutes. The aircraft decreased its altitude from 11,914 feet above sea level to 8,294 feet, a decrease of 3,620 feet. The distance covered during this descent was approximately 11 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began another level cruise, lasting for another 2 minutes. During this time, it flew over Lindys Airpark in Hudson, Colorado, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft's descent phase then continued, starting 2 miles south west of Lindys Airpark and lasting for 2 minutes. The aircraft decreased its altitude from 8,294 feet above sea level to 6,683 feet, a decrease of 1,611 feet. The distance covered during this descent was approximately 5 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 17R at Denver International Airport began from the north, with the aircraft heading 181.0 degrees and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. At an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level, the aircraft began its descent onto the runway.

The landing was made on runway 17R at Denver International Airport, which was 12,039 feet long. The threshold speed was good at 148 knots, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 5,863 feet, which corresponded to 49% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were as follows:

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport on runway 17R with a final approach from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level. The pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency in navigating the aircraft towards the runway, ultimately scoring an impressive 98.0%.

Upon final approach, the pilot effectively managed the descent to ensure a 'good threshold height', which signifies an optimal rate of descent at a distance of approximately 800 feet from the runway threshold. A key factor contributing to the successful landing was the accurate achievement of the prescribed threshold speed of 148 knots. This ensured the aircraft's controlled deceleration and stabilized approach before touchdown.

The pilot's performance in managing the aircraft's speed during the final stages of descent is notable, albeit imperfect. Despite being just 6 kt off, a speed of 142 kt at touchdown was classified as a 'little fast', reflecting an incomplete deceleration prior to touching down on the runway. However, the 'good' touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute (fpm) signifies that the aircraft was still able to control its descent effectively throughout the landing.

While the overall performance of the pilot was commendable, there were instances of minor deviation from standard operating procedures. The touchdown point was located 370 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone. Furthermore, despite the runway having sufficient length, the pilot was unable to maintain precise alignment, with the aircraft drifting 17 feet from the centreline.

Weather conditions at the time of the landing contributed significantly to the successful outcome. A crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 2 kt, with the wind direction being perpendicular to the runway at 250°, posed some degree of challenge. The presence of these winds could have complicated the landing process, especially considering the aircraft's size and configuration.

In conclusion, while the pilot showed excellent performance and control in navigating the Boeing 737-MAX8 to a safe touchdown on runway 17R at KDEN International Airport, it is worth noting areas of improvement for further professional development.
