Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley took approximately one minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. The Boeing C17 then began its departure roll on runway 15, utilizing 43% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 130 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind component of 8 knots and a headwind component of 7 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it transitioned from the initial climb phase to the enroute level cruise phase, with the latter commencing overhead Willowbank, Queensland. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 1,715 feet above sea level for two minutes, covering a distance of seven nautical miles. The enroute climb phase, which started overhead Purga, Queensland, saw the aircraft ascend from 1,034 feet to 1,715 feet in one minute, covering a distance of four nautical miles. The climb rate of 681 feet per minute was achieved within the specified timeframe.

Upon approaching YAMB RAAF Base Amberley, the Boeing C17 initiated a go-around procedure at an altitude of 33 feet above ground level. Following this, the aircraft successfully landed on runway 15, utilizing 24% of the available runway length. The touchdown distance of 327 meters was within acceptable limits, with a touchdown speed of 102 knots and a touchdown rate of -498 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.4 meters. The aircraft's total landing distance of 738 meters was well within the specified limits, and the runway rollout alignment was deemed very good. The total flight distance of 46 nautical miles was achieved in 15 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 6,018 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Score 92.19 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing C17 aircraft executed a final approach to runway 15 at YAMB RAAF Base Amberley from the north, aligning with the heading of 154.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,534 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 69 feet above ground level, which was above the target. However, the threshold speed of 130 knots was slightly below the target, necessitating caution to avoid stalling.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good touchdown distance of 327 meters, with a touchdown speed of 102 knots. Although the touchdown rate was hard at -498 feet per minute, the aircraft maintained control. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and wind at 11 knots from 110°, contributed to the approach and landing.

The total landing distance of 738 meters, accounting for 24% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth transition from the landing phase to the taxiing phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing C17 aircraft scored 88.9%, reflecting a satisfactory execution of the approach and landing phases.
