The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 35 at KPNS Pensacola International Airport, a movement that required 8 minutes and covered 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 35, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 152 kt and became airborne after traveling 5,278 ft, which represented 75 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 75 °F, wind 2 kt from 0°, with a headwind component of 2 kt and no cross-wind.

Climb commenced approximately 1 mile southeast of Ferry Pass, Florida, where the airplane rose from 1,082 ft asl to 39,002 ft asl, an increase of 37,919 ft. The climb was completed in 22 minutes while covering 138 nm.

The first cruise segment began about 5 miles west of Maplesville, Alabama, and continued for 45 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 302 nm at level altitude.

Descent started overhead KCGI Cape Girardeau Regional Airport, Missouri, with the aircraft descending from 38,363 ft asl to 5,365 ft asl, a loss of 32,999 ft. This phase lasted 18 minutes and spanned 100 nm.

A brief level cruise followed, initiating roughly 1 mile northwest of 02K Arrowhead, St. Louis, Missouri, and lasting 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.

The second descent began 2 miles south of 46MO Sontimer Airport, Saint Peters, Missouri, where the airplane dropped from 4,970 ft asl to 1,887 ft asl, a decrease of 3,083 ft, over 5 minutes and 11 nm.

Final approach to runway 12L at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport was conducted from the northwest, on a heading of 123.0°, at 4 nm and 1,348 ft agl.

Landing on runway 12L, which is 9,015 ft long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 137 kt (slightly below target) and a touchdown speed of 133 kt. The aircraft touched down 935 ft from the threshold, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 133 fpm and perfect alignment. Local weather at the time was 72 °F, wind 4 kt from 80°, providing a 3 kt headwind and 2 kt cross-wind. Total landing distance recorded was 5,155 ft, representing 57 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

Landing on runway 12L at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 99.57 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 executed the final approach to runway 12L at KSTL from the north-west on a heading of 123.0° at 4 nm and 1,348 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 72 °F with wind 4 kt from 080°, providing a 2 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt head-wind.

During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a threshold speed of 137 kt, noted as slightly below target, and the flare was executed with good threshold height. The aircraft continued the descent smoothly into the flare.

Touchdown occurred 935 ft down the runway at a speed of 133 kt, both described as good. The vertical rate at touchdown was smooth at minus 133 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

Rollout was very good, with runway rollout alignment described as very good and a total landing distance of 5,155 ft, representing 57 % of the 9,015 ft runway length.

Maintain the excellent alignment and smooth touchdown technique while adjusting the approach to achieve the target threshold speed, ensuring the speed is at or just above the published value for optimal energy management.
