The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at GUCY Conakry International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,418 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 3,297 meters.
However, the threshold height at 87 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been higher than desired at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed of 152 knots was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or that the pilots may have been unable to slow down sufficiently before touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 425 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 149 knots was fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent at the point of touchdown. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was good at -190 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,817 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop, and the deviations from the ideal landing parameters were not severe enough to pose a significant risk to safety.
