The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 545 m past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 16 at Westchester County Airport (KHPN). The takeoff distance was 1,256 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 109 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started approximately 1 mile east of Purchase, New York. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,403 feet above sea level to 39,100 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,697 feet, in 42 minutes and covering 261 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 3 miles southeast of Friendship, Maine. This phase of the flight lasted 33 minutes and covered 597 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 37 miles southwest of Grand Falls-Windsor, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The descent from 38,959 feet above sea level to 1,700 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,259 feet, took 12 minutes and covered 77 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at Gander International Airport (CYQX) / CFB Gander was made from the south, heading 11.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,234 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a touchdown point 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -81 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,033 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 942 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 92 minutes. The aircraft used 6,412 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at CYQX Gander International Airport / CFB Gander, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 11.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,234 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's performance during the approach was impressive, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable range.
The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -81 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was even smaller at 2 knots. These conditions made the landing even more challenging, but the pilot's skills and experience allowed them to navigate the aircraft safely to the ground.
The total landing distance of 1,033 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to slow the aircraft down quickly and efficiently, using the available runway length to its fullest extent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at CYQX Gander International Airport / CFB Gander was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the process, and the aircraft was safely brought to a stop on the runway.
