Landing on runway 19 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 97.62 %

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, heading 175.0° at 1 nautical mile and 362 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 126 knots, but still within a safe range. The touchdown distance of 1,155 feet was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -338 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, which is desirable to prevent the aircraft from bouncing or floating on the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 190°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 2 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The runway length of 7,184 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 3,541 feet, which was 49% of the runway length.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. Similarly, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, which is essential to ensure that the aircraft remains on the centerline during the rollout phase and does not veer off the runway.

Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a good speed and distance, and maintaining perfect alignment throughout the rollout phase. The score of 97.6% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
