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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,315 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Washington Dulles International Airport, the Boeing 737-900ER began its journey on runway 19L, taking off with a liftoff speed of 159 kt after a 6,409 ft takeoff distance, which covered 56% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 75 °F and a gentle headwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a significant distance, covering 118 nm in 17 minutes and increasing its altitude by 32,694 ft to 34,001 ft. The climb phase was followed by a 72-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 579 nm. The flight then entered a series of descents, with the first one starting 1 mile south-east of Leesburg, Florida, and the final descent beginning 4 miles south of Fort Myers Beach, Florida. The aircraft's performance during these descents was notable, with a decrease in altitude of 14,827 ft in 9 minutes and a final descent from 2,986 ft to 1,327 ft in just 3 minutes.
The Boeing 737-900ER finally touched down on runway 06 at Southwest Florida International Airport, with a touchdown speed of 136 kt and a touchdown rate of -92 fpm. The total landing distance was 4,353 ft, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The aircraft's taxiing to the parking area took 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 881 nm, and the aircraft used 13,085 lbs of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 140 minutes.
The Boeing 737-900ER touched down on runway 06 at KRSW Southwest Florida International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning with the runway heading of 54.0°. The threshold height was well-maintained, allowing for a smooth transition to the flare phase.
As the aircraft touched down 1,013 feet beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly above the threshold speed of 145 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 80°F and a light headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 4,353 feet was 36% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 96.4% reflecting the minor deviations in approach quality and touchdown position.
