The flight began with a departure roll from runway 13L at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport. The aircraft, an L-39 Albatros, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 121 knots. The takeoff distance was 494 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length.

As the aircraft entered the local traffic pattern, it made a left-hand pattern entry from runway 13L. This maneuver was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 29 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to make a left-hand pattern crosswind turn, which was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was a 45-degree angle to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle of 4.5 degrees.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31R at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport, coming in from the south-east at a heading of 319.0 degrees and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The aircraft was at an altitude of 399 feet above ground level (agl) at this point.

The landing on runway 31R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 91 meters and a touchdown speed of 74 knots. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -467 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 459 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight used 0 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 31R at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport in the L-39 Albatros

Landing Score 81.86 %

Landing Summary

The L-39 Albatros aircraft successfully landed at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport, achieving a score of 81.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 319.0° at 1 nautical mile and 399 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 31R, which has a length of 1,040 meters.

The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 83 knots was well below the target, indicating a controlled approach. However, pilots were advised to be cautious not to stall, as the speed was relatively low. The touchdown distance of 91 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 74 knots was also within acceptable limits.

Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was hard, at -467 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate a slightly aggressive approach or a need for further adjustments in the landing technique. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, indicating minimal wind effects on the landing.

The total landing distance of 459 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some areas for improvement in terms of approach and touchdown technique.
