The Boeing F/A-18E aircraft successfully landed at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach to runway 15 from the north was initiated at a height of 1,153 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was heading 160.0° at the time of the approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 177 knots, which was slightly too fast. The touchdown distance of 399 meters was considered good, but the touchdown rate of -654 feet per minute was heavy, indicating a hard landing. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and no headwind. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed of 200 knots was excessively high.
The total landing distance of 1,245 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft was able to touch down safely and come to a stop without any issues.
