Shorten the long landing

See Arrival Touchdown

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.

Flight narrative

The flight in question began with the aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. This taxiing process took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. After reaching the runway, the aircraft commenced its departure roll, taking off from runway 15L. The takeoff distance was 4,074 feet, which is 34% of the runway length. During takeoff, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 157 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out, it encountered a local weather situation with a temperature of 76°F and winds of 6 knots at 110°, which meant a crosswind and headwind of 4 knots each. After taking off, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. During this climb, the aircraft rose from an elevation of 1,137 feet above sea level to 38,374 feet, a net increase of 37,237 feet. The climb process took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 165 nautical miles.

After completing the climb, the aircraft leveled out for a cruise, commencing 10 miles south of the 2LA0 Central Industries Airport in Intracoastal City, Louisiana. This cruise period lasted 68 minutes and covered a significant distance of 540 nautical miles. Thereafter, the aircraft began its enroute descent from an elevation of 38,371 feet above sea level. The initial descent phase started 4 miles west of Manasota Key, Florida, and covered a distance of 52 nautical miles. This descent was completed in 10 minutes and resulted in a reduction of 16,357 feet in elevation.

The aircraft then leveled out for a short cruise period, starting 8 miles southwest of Pelican Bay and lasting 5 minutes, covering a tiny distance of 10 nautical miles. However, this short cruise was followed by another descent phase that started overhead Pine Ridge, Florida. This descent took 14 minutes, reduced the elevation by 14,562 feet, and covered 60 nautical miles to reach an elevation of 7,296 feet above sea level. Following this, the aircraft continued its flight, initially leveling off for 25 minutes, covering just 1 nautical mile of distance before another small descent commenced 9 miles southeast of the KTNT Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport in Miami.

The final descent phase resulted in a reduction of 5,553 feet in elevation over 7 minutes and 21 nautical miles. The aircraft eventually began its final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above the ground level. During the landing process, the aircraft had a good threshold speed of 134 knots and touched down on the runway 40% of its total length of 4,549 feet. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired at 129 knots, while the touch-down rate was fair at -250 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather during landing was characterized by a temperature of 82°F and winds of 3 knots at 20°, resulting in a crosswind and headwind of 3 and 1 knot, respectively. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, which had perfect alignment. In total, the landing distance was 40% of the runway length.

To terminate its journey, the aircraft began taxiing from the runway to the parking area, a process that took only 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Throughout the flight, the aircraft consumed 30,499 pounds of fuel, covering a total distance of 859 nautical miles in a total time of

Landing Score 99.67 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-900 has safely landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA), with a score of 99.7%. The aircraft was approaching runway 09 from the west at an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) away. The heading during the final approach was 87.0°, which is a slight deviation from the runway heading due to wind factors.

The conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 82°F and a slight headwind of 1 knot. The wind direction was from the northwest, with a crosswind component of 3 knots. Notwithstanding the conditions, the pilot's handling of the aircraft was impeccable. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly higher than the recommended threshold speed of 134 knots, resulting in a touchdown rate of -250 feet per minute (fpm), which is categorized as fair.

The touchdown distance of 1,002 feet was a good indication of the pilot's control over the aircraft's descent rate. The runway touchdown alignment was spot-on, reflecting the pilot's excellent judgment and control during the final approach. Upon touchdown, the pilot's control over the aircraft's roll was equally impressive, resulting in perfect rollout alignment.

A detailed analysis of the landing performance reveals that the Boeing 737-900 has a runway length of 11,316 feet. Given this length, the total landing distance covered by the aircraft was a mere 4,549 feet, which is 40% of the available runway. Such a controlled and precise touchdown, particularly in challenging wind conditions, is a testament to the exceptional training and skill of the pilot and the aircraft's aerodynamic capabilities.

Ultimately, this landing showcases the reliability and stability of the Boeing 737-900, while highlighting the expertise of commercial airline pilots. With such high standards of performance, it is reassuring to see these pilots navigating complex flight conditions effectively, ensuring safe passage to their destinations.
