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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,600 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,313 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 04 at MMPR Puerto Vallarta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,317 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Puerto Vallarta, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 22,988 feet above sea level. This climb started overhead the airport and covered a distance of 57 nautical miles in 12 minutes, with an increase of 21,913 feet in altitude. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles northwest of Platanitos, Mexico, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. However, this was a brief period of level flight, as the aircraft soon began another climb. This time, it started 6 miles east of MMUW Puerta Bonita de Loma Azul Santiago Ixcuintla, Mexico, and climbed to an altitude of 38,521 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 86 nautical miles in 12 minutes, with an increase of 15,525 feet in altitude.
The enroute level cruise resumed 5 miles northeast of MMHJ Los Charcos Airstrip Huejuquilla, Mexico, and lasted for 78 minutes, covering a distance of 562 nautical miles. This was the longest period of level flight during the journey.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles south of El Campo, Texas, United States. The descent covered a distance of 56 nautical miles in 23 minutes, with a decrease of 37,278 feet in altitude, from 38,599 feet above sea level to 1,322 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 04 at KHOU William P Hobby Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 44.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 91 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 10 knots at 130 degrees.
The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,317 feet, which was 41% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 780 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 140 minutes. The aircraft used 12,578 pounds of fuel during the journey.
A Boeing 737-800 safely landed on runway 08R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, which is a standard landing direction, and maintained a steady heading of 90.0°. At 4 nm from the runway, the aircraft was at an altitude of 1,276 ft above ground level.
The pilot successfully executed the final approach, making good use of the runway's length. The runway, measuring 9,392 ft, is more than sufficient for the Boeing 737-800. A well-judged touchdown, with a speed of 130 kt, occurred 368 ft beyond the touchdown zone on the runway. The aircraft's descent, at -189 fpm, was perfectly controlled, with minimal bounce or deviation from the touchdown zone.
The wind conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 90 °F and a moderate wind speed of 18 kt. However, these conditions did not affect the pilot's performance. The 18 kt wind was blowing at 150°, but the aircraft took it into consideration, making adjustments to maintain a safe landing. The pilot skillfully converted this crosswind into a headwind, making landing easier.
The Boeing 737-800 landed in a remarkably short distance, with a total landing distance of 4,329 ft, which is only 46% of the runway's length. After touchdown, the aircraft displayed perfect runway rollout alignment, maintaining a straight course without any deviations.
In conclusion, the Boeing 737-800's landing was a textbook example of aviation's excellence, with an impressive score of 99.0%. The pilot demonstrated excellent skills and attention to detail, making good use of the aircraft's capabilities and the runway's length. Under the given weather conditions, the pilot was able to execute a flawless landing, showcasing his mastery of a safe flight.
