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 five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,570 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,570 ft of the 8,988 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,206 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight started at Miami International Airport, where a Boeing 737-900 began its journey. After taxiing for 9 minutes from the parking spot to the runway, covering 2 nautical miles, the plane took off from runway 08R. The takeoff distance covered 57% of the runway, with a length of 5,949 feet. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
As the plane departed, it encountered local weather conditions, with a temperature of 87°F, wind speed of 11 knots at 59°, a 5-knot crosswind, and a 9-knot headwind. Following the departure roll, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Broward County, Florida. Climbing from an initial altitude of 1,024 feet above sea level to 35,133 feet, an increase of 34,108 feet, took 23 minutes and covered 115 nautical miles.
After reaching cruise altitude, the plane then entered a level cruise 5 miles southwest of Captiva, Florida. This phase of the flight lasted 85 minutes and covered 592 nautical miles. As the plane continued its journey, it entered its first descent phase, where it descended from 35,294 feet to 33,257 feet in 3 minutes and covered 15 nautical miles, 16 miles south of the Louisiana State Police Troop B Helipad at Kenner, Louisiana.
Following this descent, the aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time for 16 minutes and less than 1 nautical mile, 19 miles south of Cameron, Louisiana. However, shortly after, the plane initiated its most significant descent of the trip, starting 18 miles south of Cameron, Louisiana. During this phase, it descended from 32,399 feet to 1,384 feet in 23 minutes and covered 108 nautical miles.
Finally approaching its destination, the Boeing 737-900 conducted a final approach to runway 26R at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport from the east, heading 270°. The local wind conditions at the time of landing were 7 knots at 60°, a 3-knot crosswind, and a 6-knot tailwind. The temperature at the time was 77°F. The aircraft touched down with a speed of 137 knots, which was a little fast.
The total landing distance covered 59% of the runway, which was 5,328 feet long. The touchdown speed was a little high, but the touchdown rate was good at -198 feet per minute. Runway touchdown and rollout alignment were also perfect. After landing, the plane taxied for 7 minutes to the parking area, covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 841 nautical miles, and the flight lasted for 2 hours and 30 minutes, using 14,800 pounds of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 has successfully completed a landing operation at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport on runway 26R. The aircraft touched down with a high score of 99.8%, indicating a near-perfect execution of the landing procedure.
As the aircraft began its final approach from the east at a heading of 270.0°, it was at an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot expertly guided the aircraft onto the runway, ensuring a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 knots, which was within the acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well in terms of distance, with a touchdown distance of 1,215 feet, which was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than ideal, but this did not have a significant impact on the overall landing quality.
The landing rate was another area of success, as the aircraft descended at a rate of -198 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered good. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft landed precisely on the centerline of the runway.
Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a relatively light wind of 7 knots at 60°. While there was a slight wind component of 3 knots as a crosswind and 6 knots as a tailwind, these were not significant enough to affect the landing operation.
In terms of overall performance, the total landing distance was 5,328 feet, which is equivalent to 59% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft landed relatively close to the end of the runway, requiring a longer roll-out distance. However, this was not unexpected given the slight crosswind and tailwind components.
During the runway rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment, indicating that the brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. Overall, the Boeing 737-900 landing operation at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well in most areas.
