This flight was operated by a Fokker F28 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a location 2 miles east of Clarkefield in the State of Victoria, Australia. The aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 3,618 feet above sea level (asl) and climbed to 3,269 ft asl, an increase of 350 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This rapid climb demonstrated the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.

As the flight continued, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent from an altitude of 3,110 ft asl to 1,365 ft asl, a decrease of 1,746 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. This descent phase showcased the aircraft's ability to smoothly and efficiently lose altitude.

The final approach to runway 16 at Melbourne International Airport (YMML) was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 173.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 963 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 16, which had a length of 3,662 meters, was notable for the threshold height being significantly above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 109 knots.

The touchdown point was located 301 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots and a touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute, both of which were considered good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 14°C, a wind speed of 12 knots at 220°, with a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.

The total landing distance was 910 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway length. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. The flight's total distance was 10 nautical miles, and it consumed -2,430 kilograms of fuel during the 5-minute duration.

Takeoff on runway at in the Fokker F28

Landing on runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport in the Fokker F28

Landing Score 83.51 %

Landing Summary

The Fokker F28 aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport (YMML) on runway 16, achieving a score of 83.5%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 173.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 963 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach speed was slightly below the target threshold speed, coming in at 109 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 301 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 104 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the extended landing distance.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing distance of 910 meters was only 25% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively smooth and controlled touchdown.

However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, deviating by 8.1 meters from the centerline. This may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-center, which can affect the aircraft's ability to maintain a straight path during rollout. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Fokker F28 demonstrated good control and stability, and the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop within a reasonable distance.
