What went well

Touched down at -205 ft/m — a soft arrival
Touchdown 972 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 25 ft and 141 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 0 %, −1.90 points

Top opportunity

Slow the descent speed

Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The climb was a significant increase of 33,716 feet from the initial altitude of 1,375 feet asl. The enroute level cruise then began 4 miles north of Whorouly, lasting 21 minutes and covering 173 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles west of Run-o-Waters, and descended from 35,518 feet asl to 9,485 feet asl in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles. The descent was a decrease of 26,033 feet from the initial altitude. The enroute level cruise then began again, this time 2 miles west of Barden Ridge, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began another descent, which started overhead Hurstville, and descended from 8,768 feet asl to 5,061 feet asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began again, this time overhead Eastwood, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which started 1 mile east of Galston, and descended from 5,064 feet asl to 1,298 feet asl in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 16R at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) was made from the north, heading 168.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 16R, which had a length of 12,746 feet. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 50°.

The landing was successful, with a threshold speed of 142 knots and a touchdown distance of 932 feet, which was 44% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 139 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -206 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 418 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used 7,595 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 16R. The final approach was executed from the north, heading 168.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 99.5%.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 142 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 932 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable limits.

However, the touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's control inputs.

Despite the slightly higher touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it affects the aircraft's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were well within the acceptable limits for a safe landing.

The total landing distance of 5,576 feet was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots executed a well-planned and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance characteristics and the runway's length.

During the rollout phase, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway centerline, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, with a score of 99.5% and a safe and controlled touchdown.
