Next time

Settle the descent rate

See Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The F/A-18 Hornet taxied to runway 05L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport and commenced its departure roll. The aircraft used a takeoff distance of 3,526 m, representing 116 % of the runway length, and became airborne at a liftoff speed of 4 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 30 °C with wind from 230° at 8 kt, a 1 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt tail-wind component.

Climb began overhead KTYS, proceeding toward Alcoa, Tennessee. The jet ascended from 2,873 ft asl to 1,358 ft asl, a gain of 1,516 ft achieved in 1 minutes while covering 7 nm.

During the final approach the aircraft was aligned with runway 23L at KTYS, approaching from the north-east on a heading of 220.0° at 1 nm and 389 ft agl. Weather remained at 30 °C with wind 8 kt from 230°, a 1 kt cross-wind and an 8 kt head-wind.

Landing was executed on runway 23L, whose length is 2,625 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 238 kt. Touchdown occurred 172 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 220 kt and a heavy touchdown rate of minus 644 fpm. Runway alignment at touchdown was very good.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,439 m, equivalent to 55 % of the runway, and the alignment during rollout remained very good.

In total the flight covered 11 nm, taking 3 and used 156 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) with a score of 94.4%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 11,316 feet.

The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown point was 1,094 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance, considering the runway's length.

The touchdown speed of 133 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down smoothly and land safely. However, the touchdown rate of -296 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F. The total landing distance of 5,642 feet was 50% of the runway's length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out smoothly. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was impressive, earning a score of 94.4%.
