Landing on runway 23 at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 93.39 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KBUF Buffalo Niagara International Airport, with a score of 93.4%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 224.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,318 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 1,408 feet, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating a slightly harder landing than desired. The touchdown rate of -420 feet per minute (fpm) was also considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a bit of a jolt upon touchdown.

Despite the slightly faster touchdown speed and harder touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a light wind of 2 knots from 180°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

The total landing distance of 5,003 feet was 66% of the available runway length of 7,571 feet, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining to safely stop after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled and stable during the rollout phase.

Overall, while there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, the landing was considered successful, with a high score of 93.4%. The aircraft's performance and handling were well within acceptable limits, and the pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the landing phase.
