Arrival Final 3

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

Departure from YBTL Townsville Airport / RAAF Base Townsville began with a smooth roll down runway 01, with the Boeing 737-800 accelerating to liftoff speed of 157 kt in a distance of 1,513 m, representing 62% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a local temperature of 26 °C, with a gentle headwind of 2 kt and a crosswind of 4 kt.

As the aircraft climbed to 3,462 ft asl, it transitioned into a steady enroute level cruise, maintaining a consistent altitude and airspeed. The crew expertly navigated the aircraft through a series of climbs and descents, with notable increases and decreases in altitude, including a 2,460 ft climb in 1 minute and a 1,763 ft descent in 3 minutes. The aircraft's performance was characterized by efficient fuel consumption, with a total fuel burn of 743 kg for the 36 nm flight.

The final approach to runway 01 at YBTL Townsville Airport / RAAF Base Townsville was executed from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 25.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,838 ft agl. The touchdown was smooth, with a distance of 430 m and a speed of 132 kt. While the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.6 m from the centreline, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with a fair touchdown rate of -263 fpm.

Landing on runway 01 at YBTL Townsville Airport / RAAF Base Townsville in the Boeing 737-800
Landing Score 96.94 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 01 at YBTL Townsville Airport / RAAF Base Townsville with a satisfactory approach quality, maintaining a steady descent rate throughout the final stages of the approach. The aircraft's threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the landing phase. The threshold speed of 138 kt was also well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 430 m was within the expected parameters, and the touchdown speed of 132 kt was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -263 fpm was slightly higher than desired, resulting in a fair rating for this aspect of the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.6 m, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control.

Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout was smooth and controlled, with the pilot maintaining a steady alignment with the runway centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. Overall, the landing was rated 98.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
