A Boeing 737-600 aircraft has successfully landed at SBRF Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport. The aircraft was approaching from the north at a heading of 161.0° and 4 nautical miles from the airport, maintaining an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level. This is a commendable performance considering the required precision for a safe landing.
The threshold height, referring to the altitude at which the aircraft is aligned with the runway's threshold, appears to be satisfactory. The target threshold speed was slightly exceeded at 137 knots, but this did not seem to impact the landing decisively. The touchdown point, however, was located 73 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.
Touchdown speed was a key area of improvement, as it was recorded at 128 knots, which is higher than the desired threshold. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was smooth, descending at a rate of precisely -113 feet per minute. This indicates an efficient landing sequence where the aircraft gradually lost altitude while attempting to touch the runway safely.
During the landing, a local wind speed of 5 knots was observed, with a direction of 130°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. Such conditions present a challenge for pilots, but in this instance, they successfully navigated the aircraft to achieve a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touch-down, the aircraft's total landing distance was 964 meters, corresponding to approximately 32% of the runway's length. This indicates that the aircraft did not use excessive runway, a testament to the pilot's skill and precision. The subsequent rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, further reinforcing the landing's success.
Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency among the pilots involved, considering the specific conditions at SBRF Recife/Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport. The temperature of 28 °C may have slightly added to the difficulty due to increased turbulence, but it appears to have had a negligible impact on the landing performance.
