1.21 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 17 %, −0.96 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 29.0 ft right at 79 %, −0.40 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 2,538 ft at 65 %, −0.25 points

Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.8°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The descent started 1 mile west of Summerville Airport, and the aircraft descended from 9,859 feet above sea level to 3,789 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,070 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 6 miles southwest of North Charleston, South Carolina, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The descent started 2 miles southeast of James Island, and the aircraft descended from 3,027 feet above sea level to 1,314 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,712 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 33 at Charleston International Airport was from the southeast, heading 327.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a touchdown point 1,161 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 4 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 5,364 feet, which was 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centerline.

Landing on runway 33 at KCHS Charleston International Airport in the Boeing 737-700
Landing Score 90.35 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at KCHS Charleston International Airport, achieving a score of 90.3%. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the southeast, heading 327.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 1,161 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to slow down the aircraft. However, the touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to manage the descent effectively.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The runway length of 9,011 feet was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 5,364 feet, which accounted for 60% of the runway.

Although the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centerline. This minor deviation may have been due to the pilot's efforts to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control during the rollout phase. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment during the rollout phase.
