The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 33 at VQPR Paro International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed was slightly below the target of 130 kt, coming in at 126 kt, but this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 224 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 120 kt was also good, indicating a well-controlled descent.
The touchdown rate of -322 fpm was firm, but not excessively so, suggesting that the crew had managed to maintain a stable approach and touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270 °, were generally favourable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,136 m was 53% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a Boeing 737-700. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the crew had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had successfully brought it to a stop on the centreline. Overall, the landing performance was good, with a score of 91.0%, reflecting the crew's ability to manage the aircraft safely and efficiently in a challenging environment.
