Landing on runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in the Boeing 737-700

Landing Score 78.5 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed on runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 348.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,304 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 78.5%.

The threshold height at 80 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. However, the threshold speed was good at 131 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was also good at 456 meters, but the touchdown speed at 130 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.

The touchdown rate was very heavy at -829 feet per minute (fpm), which is a concern as it may indicate a hard landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centreline, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and wind speeds of 15 knots at 10°. The crosswind was relatively light at 6 knots, while the headwind was moderate at 14 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the approach and landing, but they do not appear to have significantly impacted the outcome.

The total landing distance was 1,974 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it may have been influenced by the aircraft's speed and the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft more aggressively. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 18.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been a result of the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the touchdown rate and runway alignment. The pilot may benefit from additional training or practice to refine their skills and achieve a smoother, more controlled landing.
