Landing Score 86.25 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 29R at YSBK Sydney Bankstown Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the landing phase. The threshold speed was well-managed at 69 kt, indicating a controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 61 m was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a high degree of precision in the pilot's control of the aircraft's descent.

However, the touchdown speed of 68 kt was slightly above the optimal range, contributing to a heavy touchdown rate of -682 fpm. This may have resulted in a slight jolt for the passengers and crew. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high level of skill and control from the pilot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, were favorable for the landing.

The total landing distance of 528 m, accounting for 48% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal path. Overall, the landing was scored 86.2%, reflecting a high level of proficiency from the pilot, but with room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
