Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 2

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 10 at TTPP Piarco International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 151 kt was slightly above the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 422 m was satisfactory, demonstrating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 144 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate of -385 fpm.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31 °C and wind at 11 kt from 140 °, resulted in a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 7 kt. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by these conditions. The total landing distance of 1,691 m, which accounted for 53% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.

The rollout phase was generally smooth, but the aircraft was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13.9 m. This minor deviation may have been due to the firm touchdown or the aircraft's response to the crosswind. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 93.6%. The crew's performance and the aircraft's handling characteristics were adequate, but there was room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
