What went well

Rollout held the centreline in a 11 kn crosswind — 1.02 m off at taxi speed
Touchdown 484 m in — inside the full-score zone
1.45 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 78 ft agl was well above target at 49 %, −1.57 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -629 fpm at 82 %, Runway alignment max 6.01 m right at 89 %, −0.31 points
Departure Climb 1 — bank angle up to 6.5 ° at 88 %, −0.20 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft drifted 7 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 5.8° of bank in the first climb segment and 2.6° still showing in the second.

Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18L at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The takeoff distance was 1,600 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southeast of KCLT, and climbed from an altitude of 1,719 feet above sea level to 37,277 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,558 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 140 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Varnville, South Carolina, and lasted for 165 minutes, covering a distance of 1,241 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles south of Terrabona, Nicaragua, and descended from 36,983 feet above sea level to 1,631 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,352 feet, in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 25 at Guanacaste Airport (MRLB) was made from the east, heading 250°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,371 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25, which has a length of 2,749 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots.

The touchdown point was 72 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was heavy at -629 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 140°, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,577 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,514 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 223 minutes. The aircraft used 9,095 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at MRLB Guanacaste Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,371 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 2,749 meters.

The threshold height at 78 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 145 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was slightly faster than required when reaching the threshold. These deviations may have contributed to the subsequent landing parameters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 72 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 146 knots was faster than the target, and the touchdown rate of -629 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy. This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of deceleration, which may have put additional stress on the landing gear and other aircraft components.

The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline, which may have required the pilots to make some adjustments during the rollout phase. Fortunately, the runway rollout alignment was reported to be very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and align it with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 140°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the deviations from the ideal landing parameters, particularly the higher threshold height and touchdown speed.

Overall, the landing was successful, but with some notable deviations from the ideal parameters. The pilots demonstrated good control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within 1,577 meters, which is 57% of the runway length.
