The flight began with the aircraft, an RJ100, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Melbourne Essendon Airport (YMEN). This process took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 17, with a takeoff distance of 561 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 128 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 7 knots, with no crosswind. The aircraft then entered a right-hand pattern, which involved a turn from the runway. This maneuver took less than 1 nautical mile to complete in 8 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its right-hand pattern, it encountered a crosswind from the runway. The distance covered during this phase was less than 1 nautical mile in 3 seconds. The pattern then proceeded to the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 1 nautical mile and involved an angle of 40.7 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself took less than 1 nautical mile to complete in 3 seconds.

The base leg turn was the next phase of the pattern, which involved a distance of 0 nautical miles and an angle of 154.7 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself took 12 seconds to complete, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn of the pattern took 32 seconds to complete, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The aircraft then began its final approach to landing, descending from an altitude of 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at 95 feet above ground level. The approach was characterized by a descent from 42 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level in 5 seconds. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 104 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -321 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was good at 355 meters.

Following touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, which covered a distance of 409 meters. The altitude at the start of the rollout was 255 feet above sea level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots.

The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight took approximately 2 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 172 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway XX at Melbourne Essendon Airport in the RJ100

Landing Score 91.15 %

Landing Summary

The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne Essendon Airport, achieving a score of 91.2%. The final approach to landing was executed from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 95 feet above ground level (agl). As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 42 feet agl to 0 feet agl, indicating a steep descent of 42 feet in just 5 seconds.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly higher than desired at 104 knots, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -321 feet per minute (fpm). However, the touchdown distance of 355 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's landing performance.

Following touchdown, the aircraft's landing rollout was observed at an altitude of 255 feet above sea level (asl), with a distance of 409 meters. This indicates that the aircraft was able to come to a stop relatively quickly after touchdown, suggesting a good braking performance.

Overall, the landing of the RJ100 aircraft at Melbourne Essendon Airport was considered successful, with a score of 91.2%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, the aircraft's landing performance was generally satisfactory, and the landing rollout was executed smoothly.
