Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 15 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley from the north was initiated at 4 nm and 1,786 ft above ground level, heading 199.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 117 ft above ground level, which was excessively over the target. The threshold speed of 167 kt was also excessively high, indicating a potential for a long rollout.

The aircraft touched down 89 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 138 kt, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -380 fpm, suggesting a slight impact on the landing gear. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30 °C and a crosswind of 12 kt, may have also played a role in the landing performance.

The total landing distance of 1,068 m was 35% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 79.2%, with room for improvement in terms of approach quality and touchdown characteristics.

Landing
Landing on runway 15 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley, runway length 3,050 m. Threshold height at 117 ft agl was excessively over target. Threshold speed was excessively high at 167 kt.

Flare
96.89 %
The flare tracked the target profile closely. The flare was flown from 117 ft agl over the threshold, well above the target height, so the aircraft was above the profile for most of the landing. Touchdown was 534 m past the threshold. The flare cannot recover height that was never lost - fly the approach down to the aim point and the flare has somewhere to start from.
