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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,641 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 420 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 09 at PTRO Babelthuap Airport, a small airport located on Babelthuap Island in the State of Airai, Palau. The takeoff distance was 1,117 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at 102 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of PTRO Babelthuap Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport. The climb took 39 minutes and covered a distance of 294 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,026 feet above sea level to 35,841 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,815 feet. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 152 minutes and covered a distance of 1,126 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place at a specific location, defined by latitude 9.2554248 and longitude 129.9748776.
After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started at a location defined by latitude 20.3939433 and longitude 114.3251032. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,065 feet above sea level to 1,331 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,733 feet. The final approach to runway 34 at VMMC Macau International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 341.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 34 at VMMC Macau International Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 129 knots and a touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 417 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 40 degrees.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,536 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 223 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,068 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at VMMC Macau International Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 34 was executed from the south, with the aircraft heading 341.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for touchdown. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good speed of 129 knots, which is essential for a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown distance of 417 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and airspeed. The touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute was good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly configured for a controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilots' skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,409 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and airspeed, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-800 at VMMC Macau International Airport was a textbook example of safe and efficient flight operations. The pilots' skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the landing, and the aircraft's performance was well within the acceptable range.
