Departure
Arrival
A Cessna Skyhawk touched down on runway 11 at NTTB Bora Bora Airport, a 4,900-foot-long strip, after a final approach from the north-west. The aircraft was at a height of 93 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold when it began its descent. The pilot's decision to initiate a go-around at 265 feet agl was likely due to the aircraft's high threshold speed of 77 knots, which exceeded the recommended value.
Upon re-establishing a stable approach, the pilot successfully landed the aircraft, achieving a touchdown speed of 55 knots. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -493 feet per minute (fpm), and the touchdown point was 273 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 25 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly off by 39 feet. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 60°F and a gentle tailwind of 5 knots, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,645 feet was 54% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The aircraft's fuel consumption during the flight was minimal, with no fuel being used during the 16-nautical-mile journey, which took approximately 11 minutes to complete. Overall, the landing was successful, but the pilot could have benefited from a more precise approach and touchdown to minimize the landing distance and maintain better runway alignment.

Flaps Position 1 at 11:39:34 |
The final approach to runway 11 at NTTB Bora Bora Airport from the north west was initiated with a heading of 126.0° at 0 nm and 93 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a touchdown speed of 42 kt, which was within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than desired at 77 kt, indicating a need for adjustment in the approach configuration.
The aircraft touched down before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 55 kt, which was good. The touchdown rate was hard at -493 fpm, exceeding the recommended rate. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 25 ft from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 60 °F and a wind of 6 kt at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm environment, with a crosswind of 4 kt and a tailwind of 5 kt.
The total landing distance was 2,645 ft, accounting for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 39 ft from the centreline, indicating a need for further improvement in the landing technique. Overall, the landing performance scored 75.5%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional performance.
Warning: Landed with a 5 kt tailwind
