The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 30R at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (KMSP). The takeoff distance was 1,226 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -7°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 300°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. The climb took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,846 feet above sea level to 34,918 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,072 feet. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 5 miles southwest of Belgrade, Minnesota, and lasted for 153 minutes, covering a distance of 1,013 nautical miles.

The enroute cruise was interrupted by a descent, which started 7 miles southeast of Mansfield, Washington. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 35,406 feet above sea level to 4,287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,119 feet. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started overhead Hunts Point, Washington, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final descent started 1 mile northeast of the Seattle Seaplanes Seaplane Base, and took 3 minutes to descend from 3,786 feet above sea level to 1,726 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,061 feet. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16C at the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA), flying from the north at a heading of 180.0° and at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 16C was successful, with a touchdown distance of 454 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -412 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 50°.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,224 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 219 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,305 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 16C at KSEA Seattle–Tacoma International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 92.85 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) on runway 16C, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's performance during the landing was generally good, with a threshold speed of 136 knots, which was within the target range. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much reverse thrust or braking during the landing. The touchdown distance of 454 meters was also within the acceptable range.

Despite the good performance, the landing was not without some issues. The threshold height at 60 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on final approach. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline, which could have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the runway alignment.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 5°C and winds of 4 knots at 50°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 3 knots, which was not significant enough to affect the landing. The total landing distance of 1,717 meters was 60% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline, which was similar to the issue experienced during the touchdown. This could have been due to a combination of factors, including the pilot's braking technique and the aircraft's deceleration characteristics.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some areas for improvement. The pilot's performance was good, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot could potentially achieve an even higher score in the future.
