Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 29C at YSBK Sydney Bankstown Airport from the south east, heading 305.0°, was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady descent rate and alignment throughout. At 0 nm from the threshold and 195 ft above ground level, the approach was well-established, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the threshold height was good, and the touchdown speed of 114 kt was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was slightly harder than desired at -505 fpm. The touchdown distance of 51 m was good, indicating a well-controlled approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 m from the centreline, which may be attributed to the crosswind component of 9 kt.

The aircraft's rollout was executed with good alignment, with the aircraft staying close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 635 m, which accounted for 47% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance of VH-REX was satisfactory, with a score of 95.3%. The approach and touchdown phases were well-executed, but the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment at touchdown were notable areas for improvement.
