Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,885 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 493 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 14 at YBHM Hamilton Island Airport. The takeoff distance was 964 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of YBHM Hamilton Island Airport. The climb took 31 minutes and covered 221 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,014 feet above sea level to 39,920 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,906 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles north of YWBA Woorabinda. This cruise phase lasted 58 minutes and covered 437 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles north west of Werris Creek. The descent took 29 minutes and covered 173 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 39,528 feet above sea level to 3,186 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,342 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles south of Maianbar. This cruise phase lasted only 5 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles east of Bundeena. The descent took 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 2,513 feet above sea level to 1,344 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,169 feet.
The final approach to runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 348.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,321 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34L, which had a length of 3,885 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 78 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -319 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,026 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.9 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 850 nautical miles, taking 133 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,045 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 34L. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 348.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 78 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -319 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.3 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots from 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,026 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 14.9 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that affected the initial touchdown position.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft maintaining a good speed and touchdown rate. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position and rollout alignment may require further investigation to determine the cause and implement corrective measures to improve future landings.
