The final approach to runway 34R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport from the south was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 348.0° at 2 nm and 477 ft above ground level. The approach was characterized by a smooth descent, with the pilot maintaining a good threshold height and speed, ultimately achieving a threshold speed of 64 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed good characteristics, with a touchdown speed of 53 kt and a rate of descent of -181 fpm. The touchdown distance of 309 m was also within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 8.3 m from the centreline. Despite this, the pilot maintained control of the aircraft, and the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of skill and proficiency.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 500 m, which represented 21% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 330°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The score of 88.4% reflects a high level of competence, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
