Landing on runway 09 at YMML Melbourne International Airport in the Rex Airlines (VH-REX)

Landing Score 82.89 %

Landing Summary

The Rex Airlines aircraft, VH-REX, successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport (YMML) on runway 09. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 94.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 82.9%.

The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a touchdown point located 441 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating a well-executed landing.

However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed of 143 knots was well above the target. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the crosswind or tailwind conditions.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 34°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 11 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.

The total landing distance of 1,897 meters was 83% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the aircraft's initial touchdown position.

Overall, the landing of VH-REX at Melbourne International Airport was satisfactory, with some minor issues that could be addressed in future landings. The aircraft's performance during the landing was good, with a smooth and controlled descent, and a well-executed touchdown.
