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 11,040 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 769 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at KHOU William P Hobby Airport. The takeoff distance was 3,997 feet, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 94°F and a wind speed of 20 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 20 knots, while the headwind was a mere 1 knot. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began approximately 1 mile west of South Houston, Texas. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,077 feet above sea level to 38,643 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,567 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles east of the LA12 Louisiana State Police Troop B Helipad Heliport in Kenner, Louisiana. This phase lasted for 52 minutes and covered a distance of 407 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from a latitude of 27.8611239 and a longitude of -85.1236307. The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 137 nautical miles, during which the aircraft decreased its altitude from 38,611 feet above sea level to 1,367 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 01L at KTPA Tampa International Airport from the south. The aircraft was heading at 2.0° at an altitude of 1,338 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the airport were a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 120°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 01L, which had a length of 11,040 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 132 knots. The touchdown distance was 770 feet, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 4,639 feet, accounting for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 690 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 116 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,164 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at KTPA Tampa International Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 01L was initiated from the south, with a heading of 2.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,338 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 132 knots. The touchdown distance of 770 feet was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 130 knots was smooth and controlled. The touchdown rate of -120 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, indicating a well-executed landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was not significantly affected, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance of 4,639 feet was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800's landing at KTPA Tampa International Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with all performance parameters meeting or exceeding the acceptable ranges.
