Flight narrative

A Boeing C-17 departed from RAAF Base Amberley, taxiing from the parking area to the runway in under a minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 33, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 129 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,444 meters accounted for 47% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 27°C and wind conditions of 9 knots at 89°.

As the aircraft climbed to 3,155 feet above sea level, it began its enroute climb phase, reaching a maximum altitude of 3,155 feet in one minute and covering a distance of three nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned to a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 3,155 feet for two minutes while covering 11 nautical miles. Throughout the flight, the aircraft underwent multiple climb and descent phases, adjusting its altitude to navigate through the Queensland airspace. The final approach to runway 33 at RAAF Base Amberley was initiated from the south, with a heading of 340.0° and an altitude of 28 feet above ground level.

The aircraft landed on runway 33, with a touchdown distance of 287 meters and a touchdown speed of 107 knots. The touchdown rate was -401 feet per minute, indicating a hard touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,252 meters, accounting for 41% of the runway length. The aircraft's total flight distance was 84 nautical miles, taking 19 minutes to complete, and it consumed 4,918 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

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.
