The flight began with a departure roll from runway 34 at Melbourne International Airport (YMML). The Boeing 737-700 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,011 meters, which was 28% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots, marking the start of its journey.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 349°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 19 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,429 feet above sea level to 24,504 feet above sea level in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase started 5 miles south of Heathcote, a town in the state of Victoria, Australia. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The descent phase began 2 miles south of Bamawm, another town in Victoria, and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 24,582 feet above sea level to 1,465 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached Melbourne International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 16 from the north, heading 172.0° at an altitude of 1,068 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 16, which had a length of 3,662 meters. The threshold height was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 132 knots.

The touchdown point was 485 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 115 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 359°, with a crosswind component of 2 knots and a tailwind component of 12 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,448 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 163 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 36 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -413 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport in the Boeing 737-700

Landing Score 83.1 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport (YMML) on runway 16, achieving an overall score of 83.1%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 172.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,068 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a threshold height that was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 132 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 485 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 115 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or crosswind effect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 359°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 12 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.

The total landing distance of 2,448 meters was 67% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown. However, the pilot's skills and experience were evident in maintaining control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
