This flight was operated by a Boeing 747-8 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a location 3 miles northwest of Puerto Plata, a city in the Dominican Republic. The aircraft took off from an altitude of 2,928 feet above sea level and climbed to 835 feet above sea level, a total increase of 2,093 feet in just 3 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the destination airport, it began its final approach to runway 08 at Gregorio Luperon International Airport (MDPP). The approach was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 70.0 degrees and flying at an altitude of 808 feet above ground level. The aircraft was 1 nautical mile away from the runway threshold at this point.

The landing on runway 08 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 142 knots. The touchdown point was 79 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which was considered acceptable. The threshold speed was also good, at 153 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below average, at -213 feet per minute.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 334 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The runway length was 3,079 meters, which was sufficient for the aircraft to land safely.

The total landing distance was 1,978 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12 meters, the overall landing was considered successful. The aircraft used a total of 342 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 11 nautical miles and took approximately 4 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 08 at MDPP Gregorio Luperon International Airport in the Boeing 747-8
Landing Score 92.84 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 747-8 aircraft successfully landed at MDPP Gregorio Luperon International Airport, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach to runway 08 was conducted from the southwest, heading 70.0° at 1 nautical mile and 808 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 153 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 79 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been slowed down more effectively during the final stages of the approach.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 334°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was only 1 knot, which is relatively minor.

The total landing distance of 1,978 meters was 64% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.0 meters from the centerline, which may indicate some minor issues with the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
