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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,028 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,043 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 19R at KTPA Tampa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,283 feet, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 96 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of KTPA Tampa International Airport and reaching an altitude of 38,317 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 134 nautical miles and took 22 minutes to complete.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Lake City, Florida. This phase lasted for 79 minutes and covered a distance of 660 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Bear, Delaware, and descending from 37,867 feet to 3,222 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 73 nautical miles and took 18 minutes to complete.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Pleasant Plains, New Jersey, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile west of Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and the aircraft descended from 2,852 feet to 1,278 feet above sea level. This descent phase covered a distance of 7 nautical miles and took 2 minutes to complete.
The final approach to runway 04R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 26.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 7,028 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 149 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,045 feet, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly faster than desired.
The total landing distance was 3,702 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 895 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 135 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,093 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 04R was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evidenced by the perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 149 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilots had a good understanding of the aircraft's speed and control. The touchdown distance of 1,045 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilots had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the pilots had a good sense of the aircraft's descent rate. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 50°, were relatively calm, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 3,702 feet was 53% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had good control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
