The liftoff speed was recorded at 139 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots blowing from a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Bulla, Victoria, and ascended from an initial altitude of 1,442 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,814 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,372 feet in just 15 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 90 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles southwest of Moyhu, Victoria, and lasted for 22 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 174 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 5 miles northeast of Murrumbateman, New South Wales, and saw the aircraft descend from a maximum altitude of 38,886 feet above sea level to 2,929 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,957 feet in 23 minutes.

Landing on runway 16R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in the Rex Airlines (VH-REX)

Landing Score 97.15 %

Landing Summary

The Rex Airlines aircraft, VH-REX, successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 16R. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 168.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing, achieving a score of 97.2%.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 110 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 309 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained control and made a smooth transition from the descent to the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -329 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.

However, there were a few minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 118 knots, which may indicate that the pilot was being cautious or had some difficulty in maintaining the desired speed. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the approach path or a minor deviation in the pilot's control inputs.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 100°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the approach and landing, but they did not appear to have significantly impacted the outcome.

In terms of the overall landing distance, the aircraft traveled 1,193 meters, which was 31% of the runway length. This was a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had made a good job of controlling the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing phase.

Overall, the landing performance of VH-REX was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance. However, the pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control, and the aircraft landed safely and efficiently.
