Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.7 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 135 kt well before the stabilisation gate.

What happened: This flight was fast at the stabilisation gate, then crossed the threshold high on a shallow descent and 31 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 83 m past the target point.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 135 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

A Boeing F/A-18E departed RAAF Base Amberley, taking off from runway 15 with a takeoff distance of 508 meters, representing 17% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 178 knots, with a local temperature of 30°C and wind conditions of 13 knots at 130 degrees, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, ascending from 829 feet above sea level to 25,986 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.

Throughout the flight, the aircraft engaged in multiple enroute climbs and level cruises, with the longest level cruise lasting 18 minutes and covering 130 nautical miles. The aircraft also experienced several enroute descents, with the steepest descent occurring from 26,050 feet to 1,925 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at RAAF Base Amberley was initiated from the north, with the aircraft touching down 89 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -380 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 1,068 meters, representing 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft used a total of 33 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 519 nautical miles and lasted 72 minutes. The flight's performance was affected by the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 30°C and wind conditions of 13 knots at 100 degrees.

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.
