Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA). The takeoff distance was 4,715 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 240°. This resulted in a headwind of 17 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of NZAA, rising from an altitude of 1,134 feet above sea level to 34,981 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,847 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 79 miles southwest of Ruawai Aerodrome (NZRW) and lasted for 142 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 954 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 75 miles east of the Sydney Static Carrier (FC03), descending from 34,491 feet above sea level to 5,784 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,708 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time overhead Watsons Bay, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Duffys Forest, and descended from 5,727 feet above sea level to 1,287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,440 feet, in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 16L at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 168.0° at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 16L, which had a length of 7,130 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 147 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 1,305 feet, and the touchdown speed was 143 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was good at -163 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. 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 a direction of 240°, resulting in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance was 4,643 feet, which accounted for 65% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,195 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 214 minutes. The aircraft used 18,143 pounds of fuel during the flight.

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.
