Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Embraer E190, then departed from runway 20 at Tribhuvan International Airport (VNKT) in Nepal. The takeoff distance was 1,651 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and winds of 11 knots at 229 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Patan, a city in the Bagmati Province of Nepal. The climb started from an altitude of 5,267 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 31,792 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,525 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles east of the Kangel Danda Airport (VNKL) in Namche Bazar, Province 1, Nepal. This phase lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 88 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles west of Kalimpong, a city in the West Bengal region of India. The descent started from an altitude of 31,782 feet above sea level and reached a minimum altitude of 16,733 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,050 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles south of Ha, a city in the Haa Dzongkhag region of Bhutan. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Ha and ended with a touchdown on runway 15 at Paro International Airport (VQPR) in Bhutan. The descent started from an altitude of 17,110 feet above sea level and reached a minimum altitude of 7,705 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,405 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 15 at Paro International Airport was made from the north, heading 170.0 degrees at an altitude of 349 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 1,991 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was well above the target speed at 127 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 282 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 119 knots. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -875 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 173 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,451 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 233 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used 1,568 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 15 at VQPR Paro International Airport in the Embraer E190
Landing Score 82.8 %
Landing Summary

The Embraer E190 aircraft successfully landed at VQPR Paro International Airport, achieving an overall score of 82.8%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, heading 170.0° at 1 nautical mile and 349 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown. However, the threshold speed was noted to be above the target speed, reaching 127 knots. This may have been a result of the pilots' decision to prioritize a safe landing over adhering strictly to the target speed.

The touchdown distance of 282 meters was deemed good, indicating that the pilots managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -875 feet per minute (fpm). A heavier touchdown rate can increase the risk of damage to the aircraft and may require additional braking effort from the pilots.

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was reported as perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots, with a crosswind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance of 1,451 meters was 73% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, further emphasizing the pilots' skill and control during the landing.

Overall, the Embraer E190 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing at VQPR Paro International Airport, with the pilots successfully navigating the aircraft through the approach and landing phases.
