Landing on runway 15 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley in the Boeing F/A 18E

Landing Score 92.02 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 15 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley from the north was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 158.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,892 feet above ground level. The approach was conducted in a temperature of 28°C, with a wind of 21 knots from 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 18 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the threshold speed was good at 131 knots, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 118 knots. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -691 feet per minute, indicating a slightly aggressive touchdown. The touchdown distance was good at 224 meters, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,308 meters, which equated to 43% of the runway length.
