Landing on runway 08 at FYWH Hosea Kutako International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 83.66 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 conducted the final approach to runway 08 at FYWH Hosea Kutako International Airport from the south-west, tracking a heading of 63.0° at 4 nm and 1,473 ft agl. Local weather was 13 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind component. The aircraft was scored 83.7 % for the overall landing.

At the threshold the aircraft crossed at a height of 56 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was recorded as too high at 173 kt. The flare commenced from this altitude and speed.

Touchdown occurred 466 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 157 kt, described as fast, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 346 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 10.2 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 2,196 m, representing 48 % of the runway length.

During rollout the aircraft’s alignment remained slightly off centreline, deviating by 11.1 m. No further deviations were noted.

Refine the approach to achieve the target threshold speed and aim for the touchdown point approximately 300 m (1,000 ft) in, ensuring the aircraft is stabilized on the glide path. Maintaining the correct speed will also help keep the touchdown point within the intended zone.
