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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,546 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 433 m 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35 at HUEN Entebbe International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,671 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 350 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 2 knots was present. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile north of HUEN Entebbe International Airport, Kampala, and ascended from an initial altitude of 4,779 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 39,222 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 288 nautical miles, took 44 minutes.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 19 miles northeast of Tabora, Tanzania. This phase lasted for 80 minutes and covered a distance of 411 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 20 miles north of Mzimba, Malawi, and descended from an altitude of 39,324 feet above sea level to 5,308 feet above sea level. This descent, which covered a distance of 131 nautical miles, took 19 minutes.
The final approach to runway 14 at FWKI Lilongwe International Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 130.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 137 knots. The touchdown distance was 435 meters, which was 27% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was -185 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 838 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 124 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,911 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Lilongwe International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 14 was conducted from the north-west, with a heading of 130.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and speed of 144 knots. The touchdown distance of 435 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute was well within the desired range.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the aircraft's performance. The runway length of 3,546 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing requirements.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the aircraft's ability to maintain perfect runway alignment during the rollout phase. This is a critical aspect of safe landing operations, as it ensures that the aircraft remains on the centerline of the runway and does not deviate to either side. The total landing distance of 958 meters, which accounted for only 27% of the runway length, was also a testament to the aircraft's excellent performance.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800's landing at Lilongwe International Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe landing operation. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the crew's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
