Departing from Melbourne Essendon Airport (YMEN), the Boeing 727-200 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 26, it was cleared for departure roll, and the aircraft accelerated down the 1,578-meter runway, utilizing 82% of its length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 147 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, with a gentle wind of 6 knots from a direction of 9°.

As the aircraft climbed away from Melbourne Essendon Airport, it began its enroute climb, passing overhead Keilor East, a suburb in the state of Victoria, Australia. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,137 feet above sea level to 3,003 feet, an increase of 1,866 feet, in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft leveled off and entered a 15-minute cruise phase, during which it covered a distance of 57 nautical miles, flying 1 mile north-east of Laverton, another suburb in the state of Victoria.

As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 26 at Melbourne Essendon Airport, it was flying from the east, heading 268.0°, at an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed on the 1,919-meter runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, at 138 knots, and the touchdown distance was 75 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy, at -692 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.3 meters. The total landing distance was 1,006 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft underwent a rollout, during which it was misaligned from the centreline by 15.9 meters. The total flight distance was 72 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,875 kilograms of fuel during the 20-minute flight.

Landing on runway 26 at YMEN Melbourne Essendon Airport in the Boeing 727-200
Landing Score 89.05 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 727-200 touched down on runway 26 at YMEN Melbourne Essendon Airport, with a slightly above-target threshold speed of 140 kt. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, allowing for a controlled descent onto the runway. The touchdown distance of 75 m was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 138 kt was a little fast, indicating a slight loss of control during the final stages of the approach.

The touchdown rate of -692 fpm was heavy, suggesting a steeper-than-desired descent angle. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.3 m, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a gentle tailwind of 4 kt, were generally favorable for the landing. However, the 6 kt crosswind may have added to the challenge of maintaining alignment during the approach.

The total landing distance of 1,006 m was 52% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned from the centreline by 15.9 m, indicating a loss of control during the rollout phase. Despite these minor issues, the overall score for the landing was 89.0%, reflecting a generally good performance.
