The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at YBRS Barwon Heads Airport, where the aircraft, an L-39 Albatros, accelerated down the 767-meter runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 116 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft lifted off, it began its enroute climb, starting approximately 1 mile south east of Connewarre. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 996 feet above sea level to 3,286 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, where the aircraft flew at a steady altitude of 3,286 feet for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time starting 1 mile north east of Drysdale. The climb was even more pronounced, with the aircraft ascending from 3,317 feet to 6,230 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, flying at a steady altitude of 6,230 feet for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting 3 miles north east of Portarlington. The descent was gradual, with the aircraft descending from 6,523 feet to 387 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13L at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport was made from the north west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 148.0 degrees and an altitude of 324 feet above ground level.

The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 75 knots and a distance of 18 meters. However, the touchdown rate was heavy, at -758 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters. The total landing distance was 157 meters, which was just 15% of the runway length.

The flight was completed with a perfect runway rollout alignment, and the total flight distance was 39 nautical miles, which was achieved in 12 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 13L at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport in the L-39 Albatros

Landing Score 81.88 %

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 north-west, heading 148.0° at 1 nautical mile and 324 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 13L, which has a length of 1,040 meters.

The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 77 knots was well below the target, indicating a safe approach. However, pilots were advised to be cautious not to stall the aircraft. The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 18 meters, and the touchdown speed of 75 knots was also within acceptable limits.

Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -758 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 1 knot at 269°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the landing.

The total landing distance was 157 meters, which is 15% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a good approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was handled safely and efficiently.
