The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at NSFA Faleolo International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 08 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed of 137 knots being well within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 57 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, the touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C. The total landing distance of 1,362 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases.
