Landing on runway 15 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley in the Boeing F/A 18E
Landing Score 96.17 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing F/A-18E aircraft successfully landed at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 15 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 223.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 1,445 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed on runway 15, which has a length of 3,056 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 157 knots, which may have required some adjustments by the pilot to ensure a smooth touchdown.

The touchdown distance was good, measuring 284 meters, and the touchdown speed of 144 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -379 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft onto the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.

The total landing distance was 1,597 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control. The high score of 96.2% reflects the quality of the landing and the pilot's ability to execute a precise and controlled approach.
