Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 154 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 170 kt, 16 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 154 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

The enroute level cruise started again 1 mile south of Wimauma, Florida, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles east of Fruitville, Florida. The descent from 2,480 feet above sea level to 1,323 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,157 feet, was achieved in 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 32 at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (KSRQ) was made from the south-east, heading 314.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 32 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,123 feet and a touchdown speed of 147 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -287 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 332°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots.

Landing on runway 32 at KSRQ Sarasota Bradenton International Airport in the Boeing 737 MAX 8
Landing Score 99.07 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at KSRQ Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, achieving a score of 99.1%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the southeast, with a heading of 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed that was well above the target, reaching 154 knots. This indicates a high level of control and precision during the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,123 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.

However, the touchdown speed of 147 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -287 feet per minute. This could be attributed to the aircraft's momentum and the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the landing.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 10 knots from 332°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 50% of the runway length of 6,997 feet. The total landing distance of 3,503 feet was well within acceptable limits, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the landing.
