Landing on runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport in the Boeing B737-800

Landing Score 77.35 %

Landing Summary

A Boeing B737-800 aircraft successfully landed at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R, but with some areas for improvement. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 297.0°, at an altitude of 1,530 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles (nm) away from the runway. The pilot maintained good airspeed speed, coming in at 139 knots during the final approach. However, the pilot deviated from the target, touching down 1,144 feet beyond the touchdown zone.

The touchdown speed of 127 knots was within the acceptable limits, and the pilot displayed good control during the landing. However, the touchdown rate was heavy, coming in at -628 feet per minute (fpm). This could indicate an opportunity to adjust the aircraft's descent rate to achieve a smoother landing.

The aircraft touched down slightly off-centerline, deviating by 11 feet from the runway's centerline. The pilot's runway rollout alignment was excellent, showing good control of the aircraft's trajectory after landing. The total landing distance of 5,050 feet was 44% of the runway's length, which is relatively standard. Considering the runway's length of 11,537 feet, this distance falls within the expected range.

Local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 69 °F. While some aspects of the landing may require adjustment, the pilot and crew achieved a stable and controlled touchdown, with the potential for future refinement to achieve even smoother landings. Overall, this landing demonstrates the standard operational capabilities of the Boeing B737-800 aircraft.
