Departure

On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 21 m.

What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 21 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.

Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA). The takeoff distance was 1,900 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of NZAA and ascending from an altitude of 1,082 feet above sea level to 36,193 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,111 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 93 miles northeast of Great Mercury Airport (NZGR) and lasted for 177 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,357 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began at a latitude of -22.5439201 and a longitude of -161.45564, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,952 feet above sea level to 1,339 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,613 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 08 at Rarotonga International Airport (NCRG) was made from the west, with a heading of 90.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,316 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 201 meters and a touchdown speed of 132 knots. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -475 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 765 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 1,631 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 236 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,202 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 08 at NCRG Rarotonga International Airport in the Boeing 737-800
Landing Score 94.68 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Rarotonga International Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,316 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 132 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 135 knots. The touchdown distance of 201 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -475 feet per minute was classified as hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight jolt upon touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was found to be misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 300°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots.

The total landing distance of 765 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also found to be slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and distance. However, the hard touchdown rate and misaligned touchdown and rollout positions suggest that there may be areas for improvement in terms of pilot technique and aircraft handling.
