The flight in question was conducted on a Boeing F/A-18E aircraft, departing from RAAF Base Amberley, located at YAMB. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway, taking 19 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 33, with a takeoff distance of 743 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 195 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Wulkuraka, ascending from an altitude of 1,086 feet above sea level to 26,975 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,889 feet, in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile south of Woody Point and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 106 miles northeast of Kingscliff, descending from 26,589 feet above sea level to 21,596 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,993 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The flight continued with multiple enroute climb and descent phases, with the aircraft ascending and descending at various points along the route. The aircraft also conducted several enroute level cruise phases, maintaining a steady altitude and speed for extended periods. The final approach to runway 15 at RAAF Base Amberley was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 187.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,830 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing took place on runway 15, with a runway length of 3,056 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 190 knots. The touchdown point was 377 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 162 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -102 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,855 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.

The total flight distance was 523 nautical miles, taking a total of 77 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,861 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

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

Landing Score 88.26 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing F/A-18E aircraft successfully landed at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley, achieving an overall score of 88.3%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 187.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,830 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 377 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant distance. The touchdown speed of 162 knots was also higher than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent before touchdown. However, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -102 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 14 knots and a tailwind component of 2 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot was able to maintain a very good runway touchdown alignment, which is a testament to their skill and experience.

The total landing distance of 1,855 meters was 61% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.

One area for improvement identified in this landing is the threshold speed, which was excessively high at 190 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to fully configure the aircraft for landing, which could have contributed to the high touchdown speed and distance beyond the touchdown zone. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the pilot demonstrated good skills and experience during this landing.
