What went well

Landed straight in a 14 kn crosswind — 2.44 m off the centreline, no bounce
Touched down at -252 fpm — a soft arrival
1.23 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 87 ft agl was significantly above target at 30 %, −1.87 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 17.90 m right at 46 %, −1.02 points
Arrival Final 1 — Approach angle 5.0 ° at 45 %, −0.45 points

Next time

Departure

On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 8.1 m.

What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 8.1 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.

Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 178 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 252 fpm.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 32 at GBYD Banjul International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,754 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at an angle of 8 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of GBYD Banjul International Airport. The climb took 20 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,032 feet above sea level to 33,996 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,964 feet. The distance covered during this period was 129 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 58 miles west of GOOY Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport Dakar. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 138 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting at a latitude of 15.8582597 and a longitude of -20.4870659. The descent took 7 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 33,538 feet above sea level to 26,311 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,227 feet. The distance covered during this period was 49 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started at a latitude of 16.1501549 and a longitude of -21.2940343. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 80 miles east of GVBA Rabil Airport Rabil. The descent took 19 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 25,975 feet above sea level to 1,460 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,514 feet. The distance covered during this period was 98 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 01 at GVAC Amílcar Cabral International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 360.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 3,015 meters. The threshold height at 87 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 163 knots.

The touchdown point was 354 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 154 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was good at -178 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 20 knots at an angle of 39 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,172 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 435 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 87 minutes. The aircraft used 3,712 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at GVAC Amílcar Cabral International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 01, which has a length of 3,015 meters.

However, the threshold height at 87 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been higher than desired at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed of 163 knots was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or that the pilots may have been unable to slow down sufficiently before touchdown.

The touchdown point was 354 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 154 knots was fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent at the point of touchdown. On the other hand, the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly after touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 39°. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots.

The total landing distance of 2,172 meters was 72% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters that may require attention from the pilots and air traffic control.
