The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,641 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 21R at VTBD Don Mueang International Airport. The takeoff distance was 64 meters, which is 2% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 90 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. After departing from Don Mueang International Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of VTLA Lak Si Airport. The climb took 32 minutes and covered a distance of 202 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,066 feet above sea level to 32,829 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,764 feet.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Kaset Wisai, a location in Changwat Roi Et, Thailand, and lasted for 72 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 593 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 62 miles southeast of Yangjiang, a city in Guangdong Sheng, China. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 96 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 32,853 feet above sea level to 1,341 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,511 feet.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 34 at VMMC Macau International Airport. The approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 342.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,306 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 133 knots. The touchdown distance was 384 meters, and the touchdown rate was fair at -295 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,359 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 902 nautical miles and took 139 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 6,900 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at VMMC Macau International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 342.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,306 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's final approach to runway 34 was executed with precision, achieving a good threshold height and speed. The threshold speed of 141 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 384 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude effectively.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 133 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -295 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,359 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-800's landing at VMMC Macau International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in managing the aircraft's approach and landing procedures.
