The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 727-200, then departed from runway 09 at Melbourne International Airport (YMML). The takeoff distance was 1,522 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 138 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 14°C and winds of 16 knots at 200°. The crosswind was 15 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Attwood, a town in the state of Victoria, Australia, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,409 feet above sea level to 31,959 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,550 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north-east of Moyhu, another town in the state of Victoria, Australia, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 175 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 32,596 feet above sea level to 1,959 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,637 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. The descent started 2 miles east of Gunning, a town in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 21 miles south-west of the FC03 Sydney Static Carrier - CVN78, a naval vessel located in the state of New South Wales, Australia. This cruise phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34R at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) was made from the south, heading 346.0° at an altitude of 1,816 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 34R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 441 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -550 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20°C and winds of 15 knots at 180°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 15 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,748 meters, which accounted for 80% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 23.5 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 420 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 87 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,201 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 34R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in the Boeing 727-200

Landing Score 72.03 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 727-200 aircraft successfully landed on runway 34R at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 346.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,816 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was scored at 72.0%, indicating a decent but not exceptional performance.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. This resulted in a hard touchdown rate of -550 feet per minute (fpm), which may have caused some discomfort for the passengers. The touchdown distance of 441 meters was considered good, but the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centreline, which may have affected the aircraft's stability during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 15 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's misaligned touchdown position. The runway length of 2,173 meters was sufficient for the aircraft to land safely, but the total landing distance of 1,748 meters was 80% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft may have used a significant portion of the runway to come to a stop.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again misaligned by 23.5 meters from the centreline, which may have been caused by the pilot's difficulty in controlling the aircraft's direction during the landing. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the landing.
