Landing on runway 09 at NFFN Nadi International Airport in the Boeing 737-MAX8

Landing Score 93.09 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Nadi International Airport, with a score of 93.1%. The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, heading 104.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude prior to touchdown.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 135 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 323 meters was also within the expected parameters, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and landing. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, which may indicate a slightly harder landing than intended.

One area for improvement was the touchdown rate, which was recorded at -417 feet per minute (fpm), classified as hard. This may indicate that the pilots could have applied more gentle braking or reverse thrust to reduce the rate of descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.0 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly harder landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27°C, which is typical for tropical regions like Nadi. The total landing distance of 747 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.

During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-center. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and alignment.
