Landing on runway 05 at NZQN Queenstown International Airport in the FWB EasyJet (Dirty)

Landing Score 87.45 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as FWB EasyJet, successfully landed at Queenstown International Airport (NZQN) on runway 05. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 72.0° at 1 nautical mile and 467 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and adherence to standard operating procedures, achieving a threshold speed of 132 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 93 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 123 knots. This speed was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -140 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, suggesting a gentle and stable landing.

However, there were some notable deviations from optimal performance. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and wind speeds of 16 knots at 160°, may have contributed to this misalignment.

The crosswind component of 15 knots and headwind component of 2 knots were relatively moderate, but still required the pilot to make adjustments to maintain control. The total landing distance of 1,112 meters was 63% of the available runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 24.0 meters from the centerline, indicating a potential issue with the pilot's ability to maintain directional control during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining alignment with the runway centerline. Further analysis and training may be necessary to address these issues and ensure optimal performance in similar conditions.
