Departure
Arrival
Departing from the Muscat International Airport, the Airbus A330-900 began its enroute climb from a starting altitude of 2,034 feet above sea level, gradually ascending to 1,711 feet asl over a distance of 4 nautical miles. This climb phase was characterized by a notable increase in altitude, with a rise of 323 feet in just 1 minute. The aircraft's performance during this phase demonstrated its ability to efficiently transition from takeoff to cruising altitude.
As the aircraft approached the Muscat International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 26R from the east, aligning itself with a heading of 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft's altitude at this point was 1,583 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target value of 123 kt, registering at 118 kt. The touchdown distance of 137 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 116 kt was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was notably heavy, measuring -774 feet per minute.
The landing was completed on the 3,946-meter-long runway 26R, with the aircraft's total landing distance covering 178 meters, representing just 5% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was deemed very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 35°C, with a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 310°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. The total flight distance of 7 nautical miles was covered in 3 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 290 kg of fuel.

The Airbus A330-900 touched down on runway 26R at OOMS Muscat International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed was slightly below the target of 120 kt, coming in at 118 kt, but this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 137 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 116 kt was also good.
However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -774 fpm, which may have been a result of the pilots' decision to touch down slightly early. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.5 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilots' attempt to compensate for the crosswind. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 35 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.
Despite the slight misalignment, the runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft staying on course throughout the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 178 m was only 5% of the runway length, indicating a good overall landing performance. With a score of 89.4%, the landing was considered satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and centreline alignment.
