Landing Score 96.59 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 02 at VNKT Tribhuvan International Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 146 kt. The approach quality was otherwise good, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 23.0° as it descended from 3 nm and 1,049 ft above ground level.

The touchdown characteristics were notable, with a speed of 133 kt being slightly faster than desired. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was perfect at 34 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 688 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which was a minor deviation from the ideal. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 ft from the centreline, although the rollout alignment was very good.

The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 6,316 ft, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 0 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The final score of 96.6% reflected the minor deviations from the ideal, but overall, the landing was executed competently.
