Departure
Arrival
The flight departed from YBTL Townsville Airport / RAAF Base Townsville, initiating the enroute climb phase as it lifted off from the runway at an altitude of 31 feet above sea level. The aircraft rapidly ascended to 3,981 feet above sea level, a vertical gain of 3,949 feet in just 3 minutes, while covering a horizontal distance of 9 nautical miles. This marked the end of the initial climb phase, and the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude for a brief 3 minutes as it traversed 11 nautical miles northwest of Pallarenda.
As the flight progressed, the enroute descent phase commenced approximately 1 mile south of Rangewood, with the aircraft shedding altitude from 3,890 feet to 1,641 feet above sea level in a mere 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. This descent phase set the stage for the final approach to runway 01 at YBTL Townsville Airport / RAAF Base Townsville. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, aligning itself with a heading of 26.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,603 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the threshold.
The aircraft touched down on runway 01, which measured 2,441 meters in length, with a threshold height that was deemed satisfactory. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 143 knots, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -338 feet per minute. The touchdown point was located 105 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a smooth rollout alignment. The total landing distance of 1,195 meters accounted for 49% of the available runway length, and the aircraft utilized 768 kilograms of fuel for the entire 33-nautical-mile flight, which lasted 12 minutes.

The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 01 at YBTL Townsville Airport / RAAF Base Townsville, demonstrating a good threshold height. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 143 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The aircraft's descent was controlled, with a firm touchdown rate of -338 fpm, although the touchdown speed of 137 kt was slightly above the optimal value.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway 105 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating 3.1 m from the centreline. However, the aircraft's rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,195 m was 49% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 97.0%. The pilot's ability to maintain control and navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown, despite a slightly long touchdown and misaligned runway touchdown position, was commendable.
