The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,668 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 397 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 29 at ZWTN Hotan Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,662 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 31°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 352°.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of ZWTN Hotan Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 5,619 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,327 feet, an increase of 32,708 feet in 43 minutes, covering a distance of 314 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 4 miles west of Buzi in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. This cruise phase lasted for 99 minutes and covered a distance of 844 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 52 miles east of Cox's Bazar in Chittagong, Bangladesh. The descent was from an altitude of 38,718 feet to 4,026 feet, a decrease of 34,692 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 195 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 8 miles northwest of Nay Pyi Taw in Myanmar. This cruise phase was brief, lasting only 3 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at VYNT Namtu Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 157.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 16, which had a length of 3,668 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 245°.
The touchdown distance was good at 400 meters, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -210 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 927 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,373 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 161 minutes. The aircraft used 8,445 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at VYNT Namtu Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 157.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 400 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, which may indicate a slight loss of airspeed during the final stages of the approach.
The touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not as smooth as it could have been. Nevertheless, the pilots managed to maintain control of the aircraft and prevent any significant loss of altitude.
One notable aspect of the landing was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 3.8 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind conditions and pilot error. Fortunately, the pilots were able to recover and maintain a very good runway rollout alignment, which is a critical aspect of safe landing operations.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 245°. This meant that there was no significant crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging. Overall, the pilots demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in conducting a safe and efficient landing at VYNT Namtu Airport.
