Approach & flare

Threshold height

Threshold height at 59 ft agl was slightly above target.

Threshold speed

90.62 %

Threshold speed was a little below target at 126 kt.

Flare

75.85 %

The flare wandered off the target profile. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 617 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.

Landing on runway 30 at KNSI San Nicolas Island Nolf Airport in the Boeing 707-320

Landing Score 89.73 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft made a final approach to runway 30 at KNSI San Nicolas Island Nolf Airport from the south-east, heading 315.0° at 4 nm and 1,010 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

At threshold the height of 59 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed of 126 kt was slightly below target.

Touchdown occurred 192 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 126 kt that was judged good. The vertical rate was fair at minus 244 fpm and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 m from centreline.

The total landing distance was 1,799 m, representing 59 % of the 3,051 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.0 m from centreline. Local weather was 21 °C with wind 27 kt from 299°, including a 6 kt crosswind component and a 26 kt headwind component.

The 90.3 % score indicates a solid performance; refining the threshold height to meet the target and correcting the centreline alignment during rollout will further improve precision.
