The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,189 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 15 at WIEE Minangkabau Intl. Airport in Indonesia. The takeoff distance was 1,316 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and ascending to an altitude of 36,501 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 239 nautical miles, took 40 minutes and involved an increase in altitude of 35,461 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 34 miles northwest of WIDS Dabo Airport Pasirkuning-Singkep Island in Indonesia. This cruise phase lasted for 206 minutes and covered a distance of 1,807 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 37 miles west of Angaur in Palau and descending to an altitude of 1,034 feet above sea level. This descent, which covered a distance of 57 nautical miles, took 10 minutes and involved a decrease in altitude of 35,265 feet.
The final approach to runway 09 at PTRO Babelthuap Airport in Palau was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 91.0 degrees at an altitude of 855 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 09 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 125 knots and a touchdown rate of -144 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 374 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 39 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 888 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2,111 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 265 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 13,595 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at PTRO Babelthuap Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 09 from the west, heading 91.0° at 4 nautical miles and 855 feet above ground level (agl), demonstrated a high level of precision and control.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 134 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 374 meters was also well within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was also satisfactory, and the rate of descent was a smooth -144 feet per minute, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's altitude and speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 39°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was a negligible 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable flight path, making the landing even more impressive.
The total landing distance of 888 meters, which accounts for 41% of the runway length, is a testament to the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's speed and altitude. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process, ensuring a safe and stable touchdown.
Overall, this landing is a prime example of exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft through challenging weather conditions and maintain control throughout the landing process is a credit to their training and experience.
