The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at Melbourne International Airport (YMML). The Boeing 737-700 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,309 meters, which was 36% of the total runway length. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 171 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was negligible. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,364 feet above sea level to 3,078 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,713 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase began overhead the town of Kealba, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northwest of the town of Mickleham. The descent from 3,207 feet above sea level to 1,819 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,388 feet in 3 minutes, covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 16 at YMML was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 174.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,393 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 16, which had a length of 3,662 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 knots.

The touchdown point was 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -448 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 270°, with a crosswind component of 8 knots and a tailwind component of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 1,703 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 27 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 645 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport in the Boeing 737-700

Landing Score 91.71 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport (YMML) on runway 16, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 174.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,393 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 247 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -448 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, indicating a potentially rough landing. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the deviation from the touchdown zone.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment and touchdown position. The total landing distance of 1,703 meters was 47% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, which is a relatively minor deviation. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal parameters, which may be addressed through further training and adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing procedures.
