The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 727-200, then departed from runway 34R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport. The takeoff distance was 780 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 129 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 23 knots at 19 degrees. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Botany in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,025 feet above sea level to 19,545 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,520 feet in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 6 miles south east of Bundeena, lasting 4 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles. However, the aircraft then began another climb, this time from 20,329 feet above sea level to 38,691 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,363 feet in 14 minutes and covering 93 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 3 miles east of Googong, lasting 20 minutes and covering 160 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent from 38,621 feet above sea level to 10,255 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,365 feet in 9 minutes and covering 53 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 7 miles west of Marysville, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. However, the aircraft then began another descent, this time from 10,408 feet above sea level to 2,957 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,451 feet in 7 minutes and covering 24 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 173.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,942 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 16 was made with a threshold height that was excessively over target, but the threshold speed was slightly below target at 122 knots. The touchdown point was 752 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -503 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 31.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 26 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind component was 23 knots, while the tailwind component was 12 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,599 meters, which was 71% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 411 nautical miles, taking 90 minutes and using 7,283 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport in the Boeing 727-200

Landing Score 65.85 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 727-200 aircraft has successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 173.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,942 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 65.8%.

The landing was conducted on a runway that was 3,662 meters long, which provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop. However, the threshold height at 102 feet agl was excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected when it reached the runway threshold. On the other hand, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 122 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's control over the aircraft's descent.

The touchdown point was 752 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 104 knots was good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's descent and had managed to slow it down to a safe speed before touching down. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -503 feet per minute (fpm), which is a concern as it may have put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components.

The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centerline, which is a critical issue as it can affect the aircraft's ability to stop safely. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were hot, with a temperature of 36°C, and windy, with a wind speed of 26 knots at 290°. The crosswind component was 23 knots, and the tailwind component was 12 knots, which may have contributed to the misalignment.

The total landing distance was 2,599 meters, which is 71% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, and it may be a concern for the pilot and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 31.4 meters from the centerline, which is a critical issue as it can affect the aircraft's ability to stop safely.

Overall, while the Boeing 727-200 aircraft has successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport, the landing was not without its challenges. The pilot and the aircraft's performance will need to be evaluated to determine the cause of the misalignment and the hard touchdown rate, and corrective actions will need to be taken to prevent similar issues in the future.
