Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) on runway 19. The final approach was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 176.0° at an altitude of 126 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot's performance during the final approach was impressive, with a score of 98.0%.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 600 feet was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting a smooth and controlled descent.

One minor issue was noted during the landing, with the runway touchdown position being slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centreline. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 55% of the runway length of 7,184 feet. The total landing distance was 3,969 feet, which is a respectable performance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
