Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 33 at YBCS Cairns International Airport from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 336.0° at 4 nm and 1,273 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 1,368 ft, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -266 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 87 °F and a wind of 17 kt at 321°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.

The total landing distance of 4,021 ft, which accounted for 39% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.0%.
