The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,707 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,707 ft of the 10,560 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,601 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 12R at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP). The takeoff distance was 5,278 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31°F and winds of 8 knots at 156°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile southeast of KMSP. The climb was from an altitude of 1,840 feet above sea level to 31,788 feet, an increase of 29,948 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles northeast of Brewster, Minnesota. This phase lasted for 132 minutes and covered a distance of 888 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles northwest of Clay Springs, Arizona. The descent was from an altitude of 32,172 feet to 5,146 feet, a decrease of 27,026 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead the Glendale Municipal Airport (KGEU) in Glendale, Arizona. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Avondale, Arizona. The descent was from an altitude of 5,050 feet to 2,410 feet, a decrease of 2,640 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX) was from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 10,560 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 153 knots.
The touchdown point was 260 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -189 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 72°F and winds of 2 knots at 0°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 5,466 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The total flight distance was 1,140 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 190 minutes. The aircraft used 18,803 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX) with a score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, aligning perfectly with the runway during the approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 260 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the optimal landing area. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much thrust during the approach. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -189 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even smoother. The runway length of 10,560 feet provided ample space for the aircraft to come to a stop, and the total landing distance of 5,466 feet was only 52% of the available runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop safely and efficiently. The minor deviations from the optimal landing parameters do not detract from the overall success of the landing, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
