The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at VERU Rupsi Airport, where the Boeing 737-800 took off after covering a takeoff distance of 4,078 ft, which accounted for 77% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 kt, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 64 °F and a wind speed of 2 kt at 359 °, resulting in a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north east of VERU Rupsi Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,134 ft above sea level to 18,460 ft above sea level in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nm. This marked the end of the initial climb phase, and the aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 18 miles north east of Alipur Duar in West Bengal, India. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nm.
The aircraft then began its descent from 18,107 ft above sea level to 14,566 ft above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nm, as it approached the Daphu area in Chhukha Dzongkhag, Bhutan. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles south of VQPR Paro International Airport in Paro, Bhutan. This cruise phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nm.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its final descent from 14,626 ft above sea level to 8,413 ft above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nm, as it approached the Ha area in Haa Dzongkhag, Bhutan. The aircraft then lined up for a final approach to runway 15 at VQPR Paro International Airport, which was located to the north, and began its descent from an altitude of 1,007 ft above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 at VQPR Paro International Airport was characterized by a touchdown point that was 1,143 ft beyond the touchdown zone, and a touchdown speed of 164 kt, which was faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -259 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 43 °F and a wind speed of 1 kt at 70 °, resulting in a 1 kt crosswind and a 0 kt headwind.
The total landing distance was 7,588 ft, which was 116% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 158 ft from the centreline. The total flight distance was 96 nm, and the flight duration was 25 minutes, during which the aircraft used 251 lbs of fuel.

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft has successfully landed at VQPR Paro International Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 169.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,007 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 6,533 feet.
However, there were some discrepancies in the landing performance. The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 177 knots, which could have contributed to the subsequent issues with the touchdown speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft was 1,143 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing point. The touchdown speed was also fast at 164 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -259 feet per minute (fpm). Despite these issues, 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 relatively calm, with a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 70°. This minimal wind made it easier for the aircraft to maintain its course and land safely.
One of the most notable issues with this landing was the excessive runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 158 feet from the centreline. This could have been caused by a variety of factors, including pilot error or issues with the aircraft's systems. The total landing distance was 7,588 feet, which is 116% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft took a longer distance to come to a stop than expected.
Overall, while the Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at VQPR Paro International Airport, there are several areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed, improving the touchdown speed and rate, and ensuring proper runway rollout alignment.
