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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,473 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 840 ft 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 08R at Miami International Airport (KMIA). The takeoff distance was 4,258 feet, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 75°F and winds of 8 knots at 194°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile south east of Miami Springs, Florida, and involved a significant ascent from 1,017 feet above sea level to 37,102 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,085 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 156 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 40 miles north of Walkers Cay Airport in the Bahamas. This phase lasted for 81 minutes and covered a distance of 626 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 3 miles north west of Captains Cove, Virginia, and involved a descent from 37,238 feet above sea level to 1,260 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,978 feet in 32 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27R at Philadelphia International Airport (KPHL) was made from the east, with a heading of 256.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,233 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 840 feet, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 138 knots, while the touchdown rate was fair at -231 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 81°F and winds of 3 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 4,622 feet, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 902 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 149 minutes. The aircraft used 13,367 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Philadelphia International Airport (KPHL) on runway 27R. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 256.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,233 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 81°F and a light wind of 3 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was also 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach.
The total landing distance of 4,622 feet was within the acceptable range, accounting for 49% of the runway length. The runway length of 9,473 feet provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to stop safely after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 99.7%. The minor deviations in touchdown speed and rate did not significantly impact the overall performance of the aircraft, and the perfect runway touchdown and rollout alignments ensured a safe and controlled landing.
