Landing on runway 33 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley in the Boeing C17

Landing Score 89.09 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing C17 touched down on runway 33 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley, a 3,056-meter-long runway, with a good threshold height. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 114 knots, well below the target to avoid stalling. The touchdown distance of 287 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 107 knots was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -401 feet per minute, indicating a possible need for adjustment in the landing configuration.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centreline, which could have contributed to the subsequent rollout issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots, were not particularly challenging. The aircraft's total landing distance of 1,252 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway, was within acceptable limits.

The rollout phase was marred by a runway rollout alignment that was misaligned by 15.8 meters from the centreline, indicating a possible need for correction in the aircraft's directional control. Despite these issues, the overall landing performance of the Boeing C17 was satisfactory, with a score of 89.1%. However, the significant misalignment during the rollout phase may require further attention to improve the aircraft's overall landing quality.
