A Boeing B737-800 aircraft was flown on this particular flight. The takeoff process commenced with a taxiing period of 11 minutes that covered 2 nautical miles from the parking area to the runway. Upon reaching runway 25 at Denver International Airport (KDEN), the aircraft began its departure roll, consuming 6,492 feet of runway, equivalent to 54% of the runway length.

Upon clearing the runway, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 155 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 83°F, with a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 286 degrees. Given this wind information, the crosswind component was estimated at 4 knots and the headwind component at 13 knots.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft commenced its enroute climb approximately 2 miles southwest of KDEN. The climb stage saw the aircraft ascend from a surface elevation of 6,115 feet to a cruise elevation of 33,993 feet, representing a remarkable vertical gain of 27,878 feet covered in 11 minutes. This ascent corresponded to a horizontal distance of 67 nautical miles.

Upon entering the cruise stage, the aircraft flew at a steady altitude for 27 minutes, covering a significant distance of 186 nautical miles, 5 miles southwest of Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado. After completing this cruise segment, the enroute descent stage began, where the aircraft started its descent from the cruise altitude of 33,997 feet.

As it traversed the descent segment, the aircraft experienced significant loss in elevation, descending from 33,997 feet to 15,277 feet in just 9 minutes and covering a distance of 58 nautical miles. Following an intermediate level cruise stage of 2 minutes, the aircraft began its further descent in the vicinity of U69 Duchesne Mun Duchesne in Utah.

This subsequent descent stage saw further reduction in altitude, as the aircraft descended from 14,983 feet to 5,239 feet in a duration of 8 minutes and over a horizontal distance of 34 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34R at Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC) was then initiated, during which the aircraft adopted a heading of 355.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 998 feet above ground level (agl) while approaching the airport from the south.

The aircraft landed on runway 34R, which has a length of 12,011 feet. At the point of touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height and speed were found to be satisfactory, with a threshold height at 62 feet agl above the target and threshold speed at 149 knots, respectively. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was also found to be good, while the touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute (fpm) fell short of expectations.

An analysis of the landing data revealed that the touchdown point lay beyond the designated touchdown zone by 1,479 feet. Notably, however, the wind at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 85°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 284 degrees, which resulted in a crosswind component of 8 knots and a headwind component of 3 knots.

The runway touchdown position was marginally off-centerline by 12 feet. Upon completion of the landing, the total landing distance was calculated to be 5,899 feet, which is equivalent to 49% of the runway length. Furthermore, it was observed that the runway rollout alignment lay off-centerline by 71 feet.

Upon completing the landing procedures, the aircraft took approximately 6 minutes to taxi to the parking area from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile. Consequently, the overall flight distance covered was 361 nautical miles, with the entire flight lasting 74 minutes and consuming

Landing on runway 34R at KSLC Salt Lake City International Airport in the Boeing B737-800

Landing Score 82.82 %

Landing Summary

A Boeing B737-800 landed at Salt Lake City International Airport's runway 34R on this occasion, demonstrating a proficiency level of approximately 82.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south with a heading of 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and at an altitude of 998 feet above ground level. This final approach to runway 34R, with a total runway length of 12,011 feet, indicates that the pilot successfully navigated the aircraft through the required stages of descent and stabilization.

During landing, the pilot observed a threshold height of 62 feet above ground level, which was above the desired target. However, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range, maintaining a speed of 149 knots. The aircraft landed safely, with a touchdown speed of 139 knots that was also within the desired parameters. Although the touchdown rate of -252 feet per minute was fair, it could slightly be improved in future flights.

Upon closer analysis, it appears that there were a few discrepancies during the landing. The point of touchdown was located 1,479 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone on the runway, possibly due to a slight overcompensation by the pilot during the final descent stages. Additionally, the runway touchdown position showed slight misalignment from the centreline, by 12 feet. Given these factors, it is somewhat understandable that there was also a moderate level of misalignment observed during the runway rollout stage, by as much as 71 feet from the centreline.

Weather conditions at the time of landing were typical of a desert climate in late summer, with temperatures at 85°F and winds at 8 knots coming in from the northwest. The aircraft had a moderate crosswind of 8 knots to its left and a relatively minimal headwind of 3 knots, providing a generally stable approach environment.
