What went well

Rollout controlled — 36 % of the runway used
Rotated at 133 kt — on the 130 kt rotation target

What held you back

Arrival Approach — GPWS warning; 500 ft gate 43 %, −3.81 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 231.00 m left at 0 %, −3.02 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -801 fpm at 0 %, Runway alignment max 203.50 m left at 0 %, −2.69 points

Next time

Arrival

Hold a little more back pressure through the last of the flare to arrest the sink before 801 fpm develops.

What happened: Touchdown sink rate was 801 fpm, a firm arrival with no other fault on this landing to account for it.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: minimal sink at touchdown

See Arrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737-600 taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at NZDN Dunedin International Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 21, the aircraft used 872 m of runway, representing 46 % of the available length, and lifted off at 143 kt; ambient temperature was -1 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 99 °, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.

Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south-west of NZDN, where the airplane rose from 945 ft asl to 39,990 ft asl, an increase of 39,045 ft achieved in 45 minutes while covering 327 nm.

The first cruise segment began at latitude -51.323463, longitude 171.191493 and persisted for 171 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 1,398 nm.

Descent started 42 miles east of AT13 Zucchelli Ice Runway, with altitude decreasing from 39,918 ft asl to 4,807 ft asl, a loss of 35,110 ft over 22 minutes and a distance of 168 nm.

A brief cruise followed, originating 33 miles north of NZIR McMurdo Station Ice Runway; this segment lasted 5 minutes and covered 24 nm.

The subsequent descent began 12 miles north-west of NZIR, where the aircraft descended from 4,185 ft asl to 1,225 ft asl, a reduction of 2,960 ft in 4 minutes while traveling 16 nm.

On final approach to runway 15 at NZPG McMurdo Station Pegasus Field, the aircraft approached from the north on a heading of 188.0 ° at 2 nm and 1,198 ft agl.

Landing on runway 15, whose length is 3,047 m, the threshold height of 82 ft agl was significantly above target and the threshold speed of 131 kt was slightly above target; touchdown occurred 179 m beyond the touchdown zone at 123 kt with a firm touchdown rate of minus 331 fpm, and the touchdown point was misaligned by 203.5 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270 °, a crosswind of 1 kt and no headwind. Total landing distance measured 1,130 m, representing 37 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 231.0 m from the centreline.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.

Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,937 nm, took 251 minutes, and consumed 10,583 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 15 at NZPG McMurdo Station Pegasus Field in the Boeing 737-600
Landing Score 63.03 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-600 executed a final approach to runway 15 at NZPG McMurdo Station Pegasus Field from the north, maintaining a heading of 188.0° at 2 nm and 1,198 ft AGL. Local conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.

At threshold the aircraft was 82 ft AGL, which was significantly above the target height, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 131 kt.

Touchdown occurred 179 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 123 kt, described as a little fast, and the aircraft settled with a firm rate of minus 331 fpm. The touchdown point was excessively misaligned by 203.5 m from the centreline.

The total landing distance measured 1,130 m, representing 37 % of the 3,047 m runway, and the rollout remained excessively misaligned by 231.0 m from the centreline.

Reduce the lateral deviation by refining the final approach path to keep the aircraft closer to the centreline, and adjust speed management to bring both threshold and touchdown speeds within their target envelopes.

Flare
100 %
The flare tracked the target profile exactly. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 722 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.
