The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at VTSB Surat Thani Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 224.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach score was an impressive 99.4%, indicating a very high level of skill and control.
The landing was executed on runway 22, which has a length of 3,011 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 136 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown distance of 398 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 128 knots was also good. The most notable aspect of the landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -97 feet per minute (fpm), which indicates a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.3 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind and tailwind conditions, which were relatively light at 3 knots each. The local weather conditions were also favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 94°.
The total landing distance of 821 meters was 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-900 at VTSB Surat Thani Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure. The pilot's skills and control were evident throughout the landing, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely and smoothly on the runway.
