Landing on runway 34R at KSEA Seattle–Tacoma International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 98.4 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) on runway 34R, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 358.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 889 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 127 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 129 knots. The touchdown distance of 356 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -325 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessive, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 4 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway length of 3,626 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,828 meters, which was approximately 50% of the runway length.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 98.4%.
