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.
At the 500 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 7,184 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 604 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 area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36C at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) in Charlotte, North Carolina. The takeoff distance was 3,662 feet, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 62°F and winds of 3 knots at 229°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and there was a 2-knot tailwind. After departing from KCLT, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from 1,756 feet above sea level to 36,987 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,231 feet in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 158 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles east of VA25 Twin Towers Airport in Chase City, Virginia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles east of Kenbridge, Virginia, and took the aircraft from 37,007 feet above sea level to 1,402 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,606 feet in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) was made from the south, heading 355.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,381 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 7,184 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 132 knots. The touchdown distance was 608 feet, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was also good at -195 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at KDCA were a temperature of 36°F and winds of 4 knots at 329°, with a 2-knot crosswind and a 4-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 3,557 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 300 nautical miles, and the flight took 61 minutes. The aircraft used 6,377 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) on runway 01, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,381 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 608 feet was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 129 knots was well-controlled. The touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 329°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 3,557 feet was 50% of the runway length, indicating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft's landing at KDCA was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with a high score of 99.8% and a perfect touchdown alignment. The favorable weather conditions and the pilot's expertise contributed to a safe and successful landing.
