The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,664 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 466 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 36 at VRMM Malé International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,461 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Hulhumale in the Kaafu Atoll, Maldives. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,020 feet above sea level to 35,850 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,830 feet in 32 minutes, covering a distance of 207 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles west of Viligili in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll, Maldives. This phase lasted for 47 minutes and covered a distance of 382 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started at a latitude of -5.5542658 and a longitude of 72.418834. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 35,875 feet above sea level to 1,285 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,589 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at FJDG Diego Garcia Naval Support Facility was made from the southeast, heading 302.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 3,664 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 261 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,363 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 704 nautical miles and took 109 minutes. The aircraft used 5,274 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at the Diego Garcia Naval Support Facility, with a final approach score of 99.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southeast, heading 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a smooth landing on runway 31, which has a length of 3,664 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 kt, coming in at 144 kt. The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a bit faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle wind of 8 kt from 261°. The crosswind component was 5 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,363 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, bringing the aircraft to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and smoothly on the runway.
