Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 131 kt was within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 125 kt was slightly above the ideal, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -327 fpm.

The touchdown point was located 185 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, did not compromise the overall safety of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a consistent heading and centreline alignment throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The aircraft's rollout was smooth and well-controlled, with perfect alignment along the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,239 m, which accounted for 38% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 95.2% reflecting the pilot's proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing.
