The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,028 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 989 ft touchdown sits inside 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 20C at KBNA Nashville International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,251 feet, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from Nashville, the enroute climb began 2 miles south of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,524 feet above sea level to 35,043 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 179 nautical miles and took 25 minutes.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southwest of Diablock, Kentucky. This phase lasted for 41 minutes and covered a distance of 333 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile southeast of Hillsmere Shores, Maryland. The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 146 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 35,111 feet above sea level to 1,245 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it entered the final approach phase, heading towards runway 04R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport from the southwest. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,213 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at Newark were characterized by a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 99 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot.
The aircraft landed on runway 04R, with a touchdown distance of 991 feet, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 148 knots, while the touchdown rate was smooth at -142 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 4,377 feet, which accounted for 62% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 666 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 103 minutes. The aircraft used 10,740 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport on runway 04R, achieving a score of 99.9%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,213 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 147 kt, coming in at 148 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The touchdown distance of 991 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a well-executed approach and landing. The touchdown speed of 144 kt was a little fast, but the smooth touchdown rate of -142 feet per minute (fpm) helped to mitigate this issue. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 3 kt at 99°. The crosswind component was 3 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,377 feet was 62% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of precision and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The minor deviations from the target speeds and distances did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing, and the aircraft was able to safely and efficiently come to a stop on the runway.
