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

Landing Score 99.47 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 approached runway 12L at KSTL from the north-west on a heading of 123.0 °, 4 nm out and 1,348 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed slightly below target at 137 kt. Local weather was 72 °F with wind 4 kt from 80 °, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.

Touchdown occurred 935 ft down the runway at a speed of 133 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 133 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,155 ft, representing 57 % of the 9,015 ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

Maintain the current precision on alignment and speed control while adjusting the approach speed to meet the target value, as the only notable deviation was the threshold speed slightly below target. This minor refinement will help preserve the excellent overall score of 99.5 %.
