Improve the rollout

Arrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Flare 94.72The aircraft touched down before the threshold. Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it. Landing short is the fault to fix before anything about the hold-off is worth judging.

The stabilisation gates

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

Landing on runway 23 at VORY Rajahmundry Airport in the Boeing 737-900
Landing Score 80.46 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-900 approached runway 23 at VORY Rajahmundry Airport in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and the approach was scored on the stabilisation gates. Descent was from 1,301 ft AGL to 80 ft AGL in 89 seconds, meeting the required profile for a stabilised approach.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 148 kt, but the flare resulted in an excessively long touchdown point, using more than 75 % of the available runway. Touchdown speed was a little fast at 146 kt, the touchdown rate was firm at -367 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.

Touchdown occurred well aligned with the centreline, but the point of contact remained beyond the optimal aim point, contributing to the long rollout. The firm rate of -367 fpm and the slightly elevated speed of 146 kt were consistent with the observed touchdown characteristics.

Rollout alignment was perfect, yet the total landing distance measured 1,885 m, representing 143 % of the 1,322 m runway length. Local weather was 29 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 285°, including a 2 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.

Aim to achieve touchdown within the first 30-40 % of the runway, targeting the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point, and reduce touchdown speed toward the threshold speed of 148 kt to shorten the landing distance. Adjust flare timing to bring the aircraft to the runway earlier without compromising alignment.

Flare
94.72 %
The flare held the target profile well. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 1.7° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 67 m short of the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.
