Landing on runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport in the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner

Landing Score 89.78 %

Landing Summary

It is great to see that the Approach Phase of the aircraft landing achieved an excellent glideslope alignment with the threshold speed well above target at 149 knots. This indicates a strong command of the aircraft during the descent towards the runway, ensuring a smooth transition to the next phase of the landing process.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is positive to note that the threshold height was good, suggesting a stable approach towards the runway. However, it is crucial to address the issue of a very poor landing flare during this phase. The landing flare is essential to ensure a smooth and controlled touchdown, therefore, it is important to focus on improving this aspect in future landings.

The Touchdown Phase revealed some areas for improvement, particularly regarding the touchdown rate and speed. A touchdown rate of -570 ft/m indicates a very hard landing, which can put stress on the aircraft and may be uncomfortable for passengers. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was fast, further contributing to the hard landing. The touchdown point being 229 meters beyond the touchdown zone and slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline also highlights the need for better precision and control during this phase.

Overall, while the aircraft landing score of 89.8% is commendable, there are clear opportunities for enhancement in the landing technique. By addressing the issues identified in the landing flare, touchdown rate, speed, and alignment, future landings can be further improved to ensure a safe and smooth touchdown on the runway. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in all phases of the landing process.
