See Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 11 was executed from the west, with a heading of 105.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,203 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 751 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing.

However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute (fpm). This is considered fair, but it could be improved upon to achieve a more optimal touchdown rate.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 98°F and a wind speed of 13 knots at 129°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.

The total landing distance of 2,222 feet was 23% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the landing.

Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was a success, with a high level of proficiency demonstrated in its approach and landing procedures.
