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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,128 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 452 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 10 at TTPP Piarco International Airport in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The takeoff distance was 1,066 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots at 130 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, rising from 1,086 feet above sea level to 35,740 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,655 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 213 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 38 miles northeast of the Eastern Caribbean Moving Carrier - CVN78, lasting 28 minutes and covering 205 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 51 miles southeast of Saint Croix, with the aircraft descending from 35,174 feet above sea level to 5,501 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,673 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 10 miles east of Camp Garcia Vieques Vieques Island, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final descent began 5 miles south of Culebra, with the aircraft descending from 4,827 feet above sea level to 1,307 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,521 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10 at TIST Cyril E. King Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 87.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the runway and 1,281 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 122 knots, a touchdown distance of 452 meters, and a touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 6 knots at 70 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 535 nautical miles, taking 88 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,347 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at TIST Cyril E. King Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 10 was executed from the west, with the aircraft heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for touchdown. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, signifying that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft's descent and speed. Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 122 knots, which is a good indication of a controlled and stable landing.
The touchdown distance of 452 meters was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft had touched down smoothly and without excessive deceleration. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilots had maintained precise control of the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not pose any significant challenges to the pilots, who were able to execute a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,255 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's speed and descent. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft's deceleration and alignment with the runway after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of safe and controlled flight operations.
