The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,587 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,587 ft of the 8,988 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 995 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 18L at the Orlando International Airport (KMCO). The takeoff distance was 5,174 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 6 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the tailwind was 2 knots. After departing from the Orlando International Airport, the enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,137 feet above sea level to 37,332 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,195 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 49 miles west of Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, and lasted for 74 minutes, covering a distance of 563 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 15 miles east of the Seafood Warehouse Park Airport in Crystal Beach, Texas, where it descended from 37,519 feet above sea level to 1,382 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,137 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at the George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH) was made from the east, heading 270 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26R, which had a length of 8,988 feet, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots. The touchdown distance was 995 feet, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -213 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 5 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 5,339 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 12 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 764 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 142 minutes. The aircraft used 12,487 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26R at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 995 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 95°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 5,339 feet was 59% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled manner in which the aircraft was brought to a stop on the runway.
