Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 26L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,296 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 24 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 24 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,110 feet above sea level to 4,587 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,477 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 3 miles southeast of Aldine, Texas, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 4,599 feet above sea level to 29,288 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,689 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles. The climb took the aircraft over 8TX7 Skyhaven Airport in Houston, Texas.

The enroute level cruise then started 10 miles northwest of Cameron, Louisiana, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead LA19 CHRISTUS Coushatta Health Care Center Heliport in Coushatta, Louisiana. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 29,265 feet above sea level to 1,306 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,960 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 02 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 16.0° at an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 02, which had a length of 2,140 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 286 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -271 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,402 meters, which was 66% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 274 nautical miles, and the flight took 61 minutes. The aircraft used 2,530 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 02 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in the Boeing 737-800
Landing Score 97.73 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, achieving a score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 02 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 16.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -271 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.5 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 12 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and stability during the landing phase.

The total landing distance of 1,402 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate effectively, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
