Landing on runway 16L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 96.97 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 16L. The final approach was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 168.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 147 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been attempting to maintain a higher speed to ensure a stable approach or to compensate for any crosswind conditions. The touchdown distance of 1,305 feet was within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a higher touchdown rate. Fortunately, the touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute (fpm) was still within acceptable limits, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 13 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The pilot successfully managed these conditions to achieve a good landing.

The total landing distance of 4,643 feet was 65% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline. This may have been due to the pilot's attempt to maintain a stable and aligned approach, or it could be a result of the aircraft's response to the crosswind conditions.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and within acceptable limits. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown speed and rollout alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
