Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 129 kt at 0 %, Strobe Lights at 0 %, −2.08 points

Top opportunity

Settle the descent rate

Arrival Approach

Next time

Adjust power to bring the approach speed onto 115 kt and hold it through the gates.

What happened: The approach speed deviated from the target through the stabilisation gates. This kind of deviation usually carries through to an unstable threshold crossing.

Watch for: Watch the airspeed indicator against 115 kt.

Departure

Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 80 kt, not after it.

What happened: Rotation was held until 129 kt, 49 kt past the 80 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 22 at NTAA Faa'a International Airport unfolded from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 233.0° at 4 nm and 1,530 ft AGL. The glide path was clean, and the threshold height was within acceptable limits. At touchdown the aircraft touched down 178 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 kt, slightly above the target, and a descent rate of -178 fpm, indicating a well-controlled flare.

Alignment on the centreline was marginally off, with a 4.7 m deviation at touchdown and a 9.7 m offset during rollout. The touchdown speed of 135 kt was a touch fast, yet the descent rate remained within the desired envelope. The aircraft’s approach speed of 142 kt was just above the target, but the overall approach quality remained high, as reflected in the final score of 94.2 %.

Runway rollout covered 1,400 m, representing 43 % of the 3,288 m runway length. The aircraft maintained a stable trajectory, and the final alignment, while slightly misaligned, did not compromise safety. The landing performance, as quantified by the score and the measured parameters, demonstrates a proficient execution of the approach and touchdown.
