Landing Score 92.55 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at VQPR Paro International Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 157.0° at 1 nautical mile and 375 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target, coming in at 118 knots.
