Landing on runway 15 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley in the Boeing F/A 18E

Landing Score 97.56 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing F/A 18E touched down on runway 15 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The aircraft descended from 1,498 ft agl at 1 nm from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 205.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the touchdown phase.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 109 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 357 m was also good, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown rate of -417 fpm was slightly hard, suggesting that the pilot may have applied a bit too much back pressure on the stick. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,400 m, which accounted for 46% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 115 kt was slightly below the target, but this did not have a significant impact on the overall performance of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 97.6%, reflecting a high degree of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
