This flight was operated by a Boeing 727-200 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a location 2 miles east of Clarkefield in the State of Victoria, Australia. The aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 3,618 feet above sea level and successfully climbed to 2,110 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,509 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, commencing from a location 2 miles east of YSBE Sunbury East Sunbury in the State of Victoria, Australia. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport from the north. At this point, the aircraft was 4 nautical miles away from the runway and at an altitude of 1,705 feet above ground level, heading in a direction of 169.0 degrees.

Upon landing on runway 16, which has a length of 3,662 meters, the aircraft performed well in terms of speed, with a threshold speed of 134 knots being recorded as good. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 394 meters, and the touchdown speed of 124 knots was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, registering at -564 feet per minute.

Despite a good overall performance, there were some issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.1 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also off by 20.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 6 knots.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,478 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length. The flight itself covered a total distance of 10 nautical miles and lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 547 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport in the Boeing 727-200
Landing Score 77.3 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 727-200 aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport (YMML) on runway 16, but with some notable issues. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 169.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,705 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 77.3%.

The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a threshold height above the target at 69 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was good at 134 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 394 meters, and the touchdown speed of 124 knots was good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -564 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.

One of the notable issues with the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 14.1 meters from the centerline. This could be due to a variety of factors, including pilot error or a navigation issue. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were also taken into account, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 220°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 6 knots, which may have contributed to the misaligned touchdown.

The total landing distance was 1,478 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating a good landing performance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.5 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a loss of control during the rollout phase.

Overall, the Boeing 727-200 aircraft's landing at Melbourne International Airport was satisfactory, but with some notable issues that need to be addressed. The hard touchdown rate and misaligned touchdown and rollout positions are areas that require improvement to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
