Departure Taxi — Taxi Lights at 0 %, −0.90 points

Next time

Departure

On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 16 m.

What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 16 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

Arrival

Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

What happened: The flare began late at 1.2 ft, 10 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 23 at YPAD Adelaide International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,472 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 20 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Glenelg North in the state of South Australia. The climb took 20 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,053 feet above sea level to 38,786 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,733 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 156 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 24 miles east of Murrayville in the state of Victoria, Australia. This cruise lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 316 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 8 miles north of Gundagai in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The descent took 22 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,179 feet above sea level to 7,090 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,090 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 150 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Holsworthy in the state of New South Wales, Australia. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Rockdale in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The descent took 5 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 7,100 feet above sea level to 3,418 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,682 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 17 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 11 miles south east of Bundeena in the state of New South Wales, Australia. This cruise lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of Bundeena in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 2,641 feet above sea level to 1,327 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,314 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport was made from the south, heading 348.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,304 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 456 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -829 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 10°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The total landing distance was 1,974 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 18.7 meters from the centreline.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 2

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.
